They had some interesting moves in that free dance. Not all clean but going somewhere.

What a nice surprise. They're looking much better than I expected. I like that they're going for a more hard-edged, contemporary FD. Getting a bit tired of all the soft, romantic stuff, TBH.

Here's their SD from the test skates: https://youtu.be/zC2ihZwF0sw

I love their style and the way they move and perform. Their stationary spin-lift is super cool. They got some really interesting choreography in both their SD and FD.

Mesmerized by them. My favorite dance team now! Betina truly skates the hell out of every program and Mozgov is definitely a step up from Vlasenko. I have watched the SD more than five times.

Here's their FD (video quality is not too great): https://youtu.be/9sv8WUuOY1o

Well, I have a new team to add to my favorite ice dance team list! Their take on Carmen is so fresh and fabulous. They are both so expressive and have great chemistry with one another. Another thing that really got my attention is their creativity in lifts, their spin, and transitions. Super excited about this team and their development.
