He put "Japan" as location in his IG post. And I believe contestants of the ISP pool points challenge were supposed to submit their videos a week earlier.
JO/COI are saying Nathan and Mariah will debut their SP and EX on their shows so there's probably an agreement in place to ensure their programs won't been seen elsewhere first. There's still a second opportunity to enter the ISP Challenge if they wish to participate later on. I'm still wonder whether or not Nathan has had the time to choreograph a new FS.
Nathan talks a little bit about this season program concepts
Both programs are choreography by Shae.
SP is fast, and very character driven. (like Caravan)
FS is a lot slower. It does not contain challenges like the hip-hop section in Rocket Men.
Did someone hack the ISP Points Challenge site? None of the programs are up yet.
It was very fortuitous that Shae moved to Cali! Both programs need polish but I do think they have a lot of potential. Seems like he's been working on his posture, and his skating is a little more crisp.
I love his new programs! I've only seen an excerpt of the free so gotta watch it in full later today. Love the SP, but I always love his SPs - I am so curious as to what his SP costume (Vera or pre-Vera) will look like. I think it needs to be character driven - but not too over the top.
