Free Dancing into the forum.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Goodness, I woke back up just in time. I guess I'll have to wait for the first break to make

 

[cheerknithanson]

The chat is back on.

 

[ancientpeas]

Lady Gaga free dance. Cool. Australians are cool.

 

[ancientpeas]

That was very watchable.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Matilda FRIEND / William BADAOUI
Country: Australia
Music: "Million Reasons" by Lady Gaga; "Someone Like You' by Adele
Choreography by: Nikolai Morozov
Costumes: Lovely pink dress with flower appliques for her; brown shirt black pants for him

Program Layout:

Twizzles - nice but arms that thrid set?
SL Lift - lovely sculptural position
Circular Step Sequence --they have nice edges but could be closer in the hips
Dance Spin -
Curve Lift
NT Step Seq.
Chor Lift
Chor Spin

Really that was lovely. They just desperately need speed. Everything seems so midtempo. The judges are being a bit stingy with them I think. Work on the speed and make the tempo changes clearer and I think that would help.

Score: 66.02 (38/38 TES, 29.64 PCS)

 

[ancientpeas]

This is such a sexy piece of music.

 

[Mrs. P]

Wait, what? Another One Bites the Dust?! With Beth Hart. Huh?!

 

[ancientpeas]

I'm not going to think too hard about how Another one Bites the Dust (which I love) goes with Out of the Rain.

 

[ancientpeas]

This nice young Chinese team did better with slow and sultry than in your face power.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Xizi CHEN / Jianing XING
Country: China
Music: "Caught Out in the Rain" by Beth Hart; "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen
Choreography by: Jamie White, Xun Zheng
Costumes: Midnight blue dress with sequins for her (nicely done), black pants and white shirt for him (very Casual Friday there dude)


Program Layout:

Stationary Lift - nice
Twizzles - he lost his balance but no fall. A fallout with a foot down but not a fall.
NT St Seq - work on those edges kids
ST Line Lift
Chor Spin
Dance Spin - a bit basic
Diagonal St Seq.
Ch SL Lift

Those two pieces of music are squashed together with no rhyme or reason. It's like, Ok these did well for other teams so let's just shove them together and maybe their success will rub off on us. They need to SKATE OUT. More speed. More power. He upped his game performance-wise from last time (he must have read what I said! LOLOLOLOL!).

Score: 58.27 (30.89 TES, 28.38 PCS)

Well.. it is casual Friday.

 

[Mrs. P]

Amelie. Obviously a few years out but Hawayek and Baker's FD from 2014 still stands strong even now watching this team.

 

[likevelvet]

Chloe and Long You have a great free dance! They are both lovely to watch in just their transitional movements and basic skating skills. Really patient, pretty skate. Was scary to see her fall on the twizzle, but she recovered with a big smile. I look forward to seeing them develop this dance! Good job, guys!

Chloe Dan TSOI / Long You Zimou WANG
Country: Chinese Taipei aka Taiwan
Music: Amelie
Choreography by:
Costumes:Red dress for her, black pants with white shirt for him

Program Layout:

NT St Seq
Dance Spin
Twizzles - she stumbled in the last set. Whoops
St Line Lift with an atrocious camera angle but what I saw looked very good
Circular St Seq
Chor Spin
Chor Rotational Lift


Very slow and cautious but not without its charm. Need to work on those basics kids.

Score: 62.75 (35.69 TES, 27.06 PCS)

 

[ancientpeas]

I'm really confused as to why Matilda and William got 2 deductions and only slightly better pcs than the Chinese team.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Amelie. Obviously a few years out but Hawayek and Baker's FD from 2014 still stands strong even now watching this team.

Yup, my thought was, This is nice but it's no H/B.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I'm really confused as to why Matilda and William got 2 deductions and only slightly better pcs than the Chinese team.

Like I said, it's like the judges have this irrational stinginess with the Aussies. Have to see the protocols.

 

[Mrs. P]

Asking for a friend. How do you watch the men's FS of U.S. Classic, this FD and make guacamole at the same time?
