Wait, does this mean only one program per choreographer(s)?? :confused: That's unfair, best choreographer should be decided through the list of choreographed works they did. For instance, M-F Dubreuil goes down and Lori Nichol goes up if I look at the overall qualities of the programs they worked on. But for now, here goes:

1. David Wilson / Schindler's List / Jason Brown
2. Carol Lane & Juris Razguliaevs / Both Sides Now / Gilles & Poirier
3. Marie-France Dubreuil & Samuel Chouinard / Egyptian sexy Snake Dance / Chock & Bates
4. Shae-Lynn Bourne / The Fire Within / Cha Junhwan (yes I'm biased but THAT INA BAUER FIGHT ME)
5. Lori Nichol / Cloud Atlas Soundtrack / Peng & Jin

I can't believe I'm leaving Rohene Ward, Romain Haguenauer, and Benoit Richaud off the list here

and a special shout out to Andrew Torgashev, choreo, for Andrew Torgashev SP:) (I would put him No. 2 but I fear he is a junior in terms of this poll).

1 - Lori Nichol/ Rain in Your Black Eyes/ Sui/Han FS, - but really i feel like nominating Nichol because of everyone of her programs for the Chinese pairs. They were consistently great this year.
2 - MF Dubreuil and S. Chouinard / Find Me / Papadakis/Cizeron FD
3 - Philip Mills / The Hardest Button to Button / Kazuki Tomono's SP - can't believe no-one has nominated him yet.
4 - Shae-Lynn Bourne / The Fire Within / Junhwan Cha's FS - oh that was a hard one to chose among SLB's progs.
5 - Misha Ge/A Storm is Coming/ Cain-Gribble/LeDuc SP
