Now I feel weird feeling like the only one who liked Alla and Pavel. I don't know, I liked them.
I hate the part of L/D's free dance where he pushes her head under his arm. It looks almost abusive. Yuck.
I think given time, this program could really work.Well, another strange program. The choice is really between I put a spell on you or Muse and these last 2 programs? Plus some of the N/N elements seemed really not ready.
After the last two programs, T/F were just anticlimactic. Not their fault. Bad timing.
I will say one thing: the Italians have a genius for skirt design. Not quite up to the gold standard of Anna L's skirt for 42nd Street, but still beautifully constructed.
N/N is more Disney Dinner Theater on Ice than a competitive FD program. Did Zhulin choreograph that? It wouldn't surprise me if he did. It's so...so...1990s.
