I want her to skate to this: http://youtu.be/PEw629Bp7vU

I've noticed she seems to have very "bouncy" knees when she skates (does anyone know what I'm talking about?) and I feel like this song needs a lot of up-and-down movement, so she would skate well to it. I made a montage of junior ladies to this that she was in, and some clips of her in it convincingly could've passed for a real program. Lastly, I'm just kind of obsessed with this song.

That song would make a beautiful program :love:

Yessssss! We have no video or information about what Vivian's FS music was, so I'm still hoping this was it...unlikely, but you never know. It's always a hit with the skaters at my rink when I play it during practices. (In fact, I played it at practice this morning and saw a skater go into the box, see what it was, and then write something in a notebook-so maybe I inspired someone's music next season? I've already had several people tell me they wanted to skate to it :laugh:

I will forward your compliment to Mary

About Vivian at Skate Dallas, I was there for both SP and FS. Unfortunately, I can't recall her FS music. If I find out I will let you know.

I do see Vivian and Emily practice at the rink from time to time. They are both great role models for my daughters to look up to, both on and off the ice.

I love this song and I love Jennifer Thomas! :biggrin:

This would make a fantastic program for her! :agree:

Video of Vivian's Skate Dallas SP has been uploaded to her YT channel. I can't get over how much her upper body movement has improved.

Vivian's definitely channelling some Emily Chan there!

I hope that Emily Chan is channelling Vivian's tech content.

How is Vivian's last name pronounced? In the Dallas video, it's pronounced as Lee but in other videos, it rhymes with Leigh, Vivian Leigh :love:

Is she Vietnamese too? Then I would argue for "Leigh" with the emphasis on the first syllable.

Didn't know that Chinese have that surname. I have the same surname, and whenever I travel overseas, I go with "Lee" for convenience. But hey, today I learn that Leigh is cooler

There's a million Li/Lees out there. Why not have fun with it!

Vivian is Vietnamese and Lê is my maiden name so I agree with @Mrs. P.

I was at Skate Dallas watching both of Vivian's programs. She did very well in the SP but fell in the LP and lost the momentum although she hung on and kept doing her triple jumps. She seemed upset after her skate. The long program was still new and I'm sure she will improve with time and practice. She had a very pretty dress for the short program but only had on what seemed to be her practice outfit - or so I hope - for the long. I would be disappointed if she does not have another outfit in the future (may be her dress is not ready yet) since it was a one piece black leotard, which did not showcase her at all.

She tends to have a harder time in the long program. How did her edge jumps look (loop/salchow?) It's early, so I'm sure she'll keep growing.

Do you remember what her FS music was?

She did a nice triple salchow during warm up but fell on her first jump in the free skate - I can't remember which one that was then she fell on another jump, I think it was the second jump on her 2axle combo - my memories are fading fast

. One thing I like about Vivian - and what separated her from the other competitors - was how solid her landings were (when she landed them) - very steady check outs (is there such term???) - good knee bend like someone mentioned up post.

Unfortunately I don't. It was not something I could recall hearing before and with my limited knowledge of music, I could not identify it.

Rafael is very popular these days.
