Arina USHAKOVA / Maxim NEKRASOV
Country: Russia
Music: Black Cat, White Cat (soundtrack) by Goran Bregovic [I smell a short term Junior Warhorse trying to get into the stable. Next season will be telling...]
Choreography by: Natalia Yanovskaia, Elena Maslennikova
Costumes: A psychedelic confection of rainbow extravaganza for both! C'mon, it's BLACK cat, WHITE cat. What do you think they're wearing??? And what happens if you pull his shirt tassle?
Program Layout:
Choreo Char Step Seq - a smart opening. Lots of mime. The program demands you establish distinct characters from the git go. And this is probably what TPTB had in mind for the ChSt. 2.70 goe
Twizzles - huge speed but also hige distance issues. Level 4 for both, 2.18 goe. That's mighty generous given the truck you could have driven between them.
Diag Step Seq - Level 3, 2.58 goe
SL Lift - very steady Level 4, 1.10 goe
Choreo Spin - with her holding his leg by one hand. Nice position. 2.82 goe
NT Step Seq - with tempo change. Level 3 for both 1.94 goe
Dance Spin - Level 4, 1.20 goe
Rotational Lift - again huge speed. Level 4, 1.38 goe
That was what I would call a "Hard Sell" performance. She in particular is just PUSHING PUSHING PUSHING the character. They certainly have the tech. But it's all so frantic. I know I'm supposed to be charmed by this but mostly I was like Stop Trying So Hard.
The judges will lap it up. Like cream. I'd rather have an espresso.
Score: 103.16
