2016 Skate America Short Dance

[Seren]

I'm not the biggest fan of this music cut, it's just a little too disjointed. I'm not opposed to it in general, but I would like it more if they toned the music down a little.

I love H/D kept my attention throughout. i saw the hip hop evolution. I even saw funk and animation towards the end.

 

[Crossover]

At least Madison's costume is changed...

 

[Krunchii]

I found all those music changes very convoluted and overwhelming, not my cup of tea at all

 

[Plisskin]

Well, I still love Maddie and Zach...

 

[andromache]

It's an ambitious program with too much going on for it to really work. When you're starting to get into it, the music changes.

I think the choreography and movements and interpretation are very strong, however.

 

[ancientpeas]

Charlie is a little old fashioned when it comes to music I think.

I think the risk here is huge but I'm not sure, yet, if I like it.

 

[tulosai]

I liked this program a lot the first few times I watched it but now I feel like, having seen more teams compete, it doesn't really stack up well.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'm not sure about the wedding reception dance cuts at the end. I get that's it's supposed to be 'blues/hiphop through the ages', but the second half reminds me of the last time they tried to incorporate hip hop into one of their dances and... that's not good.

 

[Princessroja]

I feel really unobservant now, because I didn't even notice any music changes...

 

[SarahSynchro]

I would love to see Marie-France in action choreographing this number.

 

[yyyskate]

disagree with charlie it is indeed hip hop history.

 

[4everchan]

i didn't like the hip hop part... especially when Madison did those small toe point steps... hip hop is not on the toes baby.... and... well zach probably forgot his top at home and borrowed Adam's ... suits him well though

 

[blue_idealist]

I/Z relegated to 4th

 

[4everchan]

oh patrice

 

[ancientpeas]

ooooh... if only that leisure suit were white......

 

[gravy]

What a delicious mess. I loved it.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Charlie tried and struggled so hard to be critical diplomatically of his compatriots.

 

[Plisskin]

I think this is the weakest program they ever had. I wonder if another team might over take them at U.S. Nationals.

 

[Seren]

omg his costume is so fabulously awful I love it, I know it's Elvis but it makes me think of men's costumes in the 70's-early 80's.
