Two twizzle sequences in the FD. Someone up there likes the Shibs

Oh yes ! The close hold step sequence will be a challenge though, but oh so interesting to look at. It's beginning to feel like an OD again.

 

[GF2445]

i want the Tech committee to continue to make these changes. We need more freedom and choices for dance.

 

[dorispulaski]

So now we have had choreographic spins, choreographic lifts, and choreographic twizzles. In 2016-2017, do we get a choreographic step sequence extra in the FD?

I am total clueless when it comes to ice dance, so in advance, pardon my ignorance! How many twizzle sequence did they have to do before this new requirement?

 

[dorispulaski]

One.

Actually, this season the Type B step sequence (i.e. The later step sequence in the free dance that has less required steps and retrogressions) has been dubbed 'the choreographed step sequence'

What i would like to see is the team being allowed to place the choreographic element anywhere in the FD, as opposed to the end.

 

[noidont]

I would like a requirement of combination lifts.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I would like a requirement of combination lifts.

Oh but wouldn't that make Ice Dancing more of, you know, a sport? Can't have that now, can we? It's so much more important to emote like you're in a 1920s silent movie. AND :sarcasm:

A full stop before the partial step sequence in the short dance is SO mid 1980s. We're back to the days of three part programs, usually soldered together randomly. How tiresome.

I'm a little confused by this requirement in the partial step seq:

Holds: by exception to Rule 703, paragraph 4, first bullet, Hand-in-Hand Hold with extended arms cannot be established and partners must remain in contact at all times, even during changes of Holds
and during Twizzles

What would that actually look like? Can anyone post a youtube clip illustrating how that would work? Just curious.

https://youtu.be/tW94TKZHboI?t=4m21s Don't always think of a twizzle as being the full sequences that we see as a required element, just one full revolution that travels across the ice also counts And in this case only one partner would be twizzling. Then it's easier to see how you would keep contact by joining hands over the twizzling partners head. I've also seen examples where the not twizzling partner holds an edge alongside the twizzling partner and holds their hand at the twizzling partner's waist, so they keep contact but the hand is running over the waist as they turn. It's hard though! The requirements for the in hold sequences in the FD have to include a twizzle for a level 4, but partners are allowed to separate & the vast majority take that option instead of staying in contact.

 

[SashaJuliaSpins]

One.

Thank u!

 

[FSGMT]

So, we're going to have no not-touching step sequence at all? :scowl:

 

[dorispulaski]

No not touch sequence...

 

[Barb]

So, we're going to have no not-touching step sequence at all? :scowl:

But why? what they are thinking?

 

[GF2445]

But why? what they are thinking?

They probably want to try something new.
I personally think that the partial step should include a mix of "in hold" and "no-touching" skating. They need to create some variety.

 

[GF2445]

Also, in the requirements, they say NO LOOPS.

Does that mean loop as in the jump (which is illegal anyway)
or loop like the tracing on the ice??

 

[brushalley]

I'm probably in the minority but I would like a dance spin back in the SD.I love dance spins:yes:

Only if speed and elegant positions are emphasized instead of flexibility and number of revolutions!!
