2015 Europeans Free Dance, Jan. 29

[whatif]

And the P/C's brilliantly choreographed programme wins. I can' t wait to see how they are going to top this next season.

The plague of major splatfests are going to haunt two Russian teams now. There must be some kind of a curse.

i was thinking that to. perhaps katsalapov and whoever else was sitting in frot of tv ans sending loads of bad energy

This has nothing to do with their skills, but they are so gorgeous.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I do love this program probably because it is how you can incorporate a modern dance vocabulary into traditional ballroom step sequences and make it seamless.But you know, de gustibus and all that jazz. People should love what they love.

 

[Ophelia]

I think it is so well constructed and visually stunning. It's soft spoken which I like, but I can understand why one would not connect to it I guess.. But every note has meaning and movement, and I think it is truly unique. To me, it makes other classical free dances look empty.

It's modern dance performed on ice. I think many viewers are too used to Zuevas cheesy, OTT programs.

Can someone please explain to me why their twizzles consistently get level 1? Is it ice coverage?

They are back together next season. So whatever helps. I guess.

 

[euroskate]

You mean S&B? Most probably yes. Often they look like a spin.

 

[Alchamei]

Will it be enough to beat I/Z?

 

[sbaker]

You mean S&B? Most probably yes. Often they look like a spin.

Yes, S/B! I agree. But they keep going for it, so they must think the potential for points is big... Or they just want to stand out?

 

[tulosai]

Yeah I think this will be really close. It'll be down to PCS

 

[caitie]

hot bb russians for bronze!!

 

[whatif]

Will it be enough to beat I/Z?

Yes in FD, it's going to be 0.0000001 close on total.

[cebi26]

Well they certainly have good looks

Who's back together? If you mean I/K, I highly doubt it...

 

[keasus]

I know I am in the minority but me too. Like, I can and do appreciate it and how good it is, but it does nothing for me. I have felt like an oddball all season because of it.

You are not the only "oddball," Tulosai. I applaud their use of music not often heard in skating, but I find them and this program underwhelming. Still, they are clearly the best today (so far).

 

[fleeting]

Yikes. Huge snow storm hit in Detroit just now and delayed me... I hear I missed I/Z, and they had some accidents... Hope it was enough.
