2017 CS Lombardia Trophy Short Dance

[NicolettaL]

speaking of Florent - he certainly could give a training to dance teams how to embody Latin music, looking authentic and committed instead of wooden and out of place, I miss his energy

Oh I think we all do
Especially when you go back to his last FS remembering how good he was in selling this latin to the last drop to us

 

[TMC]

Yeah, she needs to commit more to the movement in her upper body. But a step up from last year.

Sigh. It's only the first time I'm seeing these SDs and I already loathe this pattern. Definitely one of my least favorites.

I was just thinking the same! The Finnstep made for an epic Olympic SD, but I feel like the rhumbas are going to be boring at best and disappointing at worst...

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Turkkila and Verslius were both single skaters, is it?

 

[nimi]

Juulia & Matthias switched from singles to dance, what, a little over a year ago? I think they're doing pretty well, considering.

ETA: Googled it and yeah. Apparently they started practicing in the summer of 2016.

Just tuned in for some costume critiquing!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Finn2. Hmm, he's a mess but she's got something, she held my attention. She performs. He's doing steps (and again, lots of early season sloppiness there).

I'd be curious to see how she would do with a better partner...

exactly

 

[TMC]

Turkkila and Verslius were both single skaters, is it?

Yup. Versluis is so far the only Finnish guy ever to land a quad in int'l competition.

 

[xeyra]

What is this atrocity?

 

[NoNameFace]

Just tuned in for some costume critiquing!

hello, I assure you - we will have PLENTY to critique for SD: too much skin, too much cleavage, too much sparkle, too much brightness, too little brightness, all blacks, make-ups from hell...and many more

 

[TMC]

Ugh the pattern is truly disappointing when even Alex & Max don't do it for me...

HER COSTUME.

Naked butt illusion combined with fringes over her front and down her leg.

If RuPaul's Drag Race did a costume challenge where the contestants are told to construct a dress using only illusion mesh and cheap wigs, I'm sure one of the outfits would end up looking like this. And be critiqued harshly on the runway.

 

[matmuh]

hiya, hope all is good!

I see we have cameraman issues part 2 - still in a search for 'better angle'?

i feel ungrateful for not appreciating free youtube stream but camera person isnt helping me all is well! hope all is good for you too, good luck catching up later and hope you can catch ladies live cause its the longest event and i find it very hard to catch up if i dont watch it live

 

[NicolettaL]

I'm questioning Igor's everything for Nazarova and Nikitin from the music choices, through this leg thing, to the last lift wich was just scary

 

[WeakAnkles]

If N/N really get it down, that will be one very very cool and very musical lift.

The samba was ok. You can see what a huge difference international experience makes. But the mambo...finally they are showing some of the sass they had as juniors.

I'll be REALLY curious to see how this develops...

61.06 2nd to LD.

Bleh.

, I'll have to select only a few to watch if I want to watch BOTH International Classic and Lombardia...Such stupid thing as work...But top three from all is a must, but I'll venture probably further, knowing my adventurous taste, I hope I'll have a coherence to write something later here

Haha, at least you can watch it! The stream is blocked for me because of copyright

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Speaker struggling with foregin names makes it so funny tho
