[Ice Dance]

Per the USFSA Assignment page, Haines & Koszuta will be here instead of Gropman & Somerville. (G&S have been moved to Bratislava to replace the Greens).

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Hello

 

[zounger]

Are the Austrian couple twins?

 

[SnowWhite]

These two look so little and cute. Both 15 according to bios but they look even younger to me.

Are the Austrian couple twins?

Same birthdate in the bios, so yes.

 

[Harriet]

Good luck, Matilda and William! Have fun!

 

[Colonel Green]

The first two teams have the same wardrobe colours, but totally different styles — the first is minimalist block colours, the second tons of details.

The same to me. When I spotted them, I thought they (mainly the boy) are like 13 or so.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I've agreed to try doing some play by play for Dance this season. Now given that I have yet to make it from the area where you put on skates to the actual rink itself without causing grievous bodily injury (mostly to myself!), I find this hilarious and a sterling example of Major Irony, but I think the idea of pbp is a very good one. And I promise to do my best. If nothing else, you get to see A Very Very Very Very Very Steep Learning Curve in Action!

I wanted to post a few links for people who may occasionally like to watch ID events casually, for those who would like to but are baffled by it, or want to learn more. If this is not you, Mr and Ms Expert, please feel free to skip ahead or file your nails or make me some breakfast (I'm particularly fond of omelettes, blueberry pancakes and bacon [hint, hint]).

Today's Event is the Rhythm Method. I mean Rhythm Dance. (LOL, sorry but the joke is so easy who could resist making it? Not me!) This was formally known as the Short Dance. Ice dancing is at heart, traditional ballroom dancing on ice. There are a number of set patterns in ballroom that have been incorporated into ID. There is a good reason for this. These are the fundamental patterns learned by every couple, from the wee novice to the most experienced of seniors. The RD gives both judges and audience a chance to compare teams directly. If you want to know why team So and So placed ahead of Your Particular Favorite, an excellent way to do so is to compare both teams's required patterns in the RD.

The RD always has a set pattern, done to a specific rhythm. This year the juniors are skating to the Argentine Tango. Bill Neal has helpfully provided, in another post on here, a lovely link explaining the steps of the AT and the Infamous Key Points here:
https://www.isu.org/inside-single-pa...s-2018-19/file

Key points are part of the required dance pattern. They must be skated on a specific step, to a specific beat. Hitting or missing a key point can be crucial to a team's overall placement in the RD. Given that my internet connection is somewhere in the area of two tin cans and a piece of string, I'm not going to attempt to identify them in the pbp as they happen, but the protocols will tell you if the team hit their KPs.

The USFSA has provided a nifty chart explaining the required elements of the RD here. There are five required elements for the Junior RD: two sections of Argentine tango, a short lift, one set of twizzles, and a step sequence. The step sequence can be either Midline (aka in a straight line), diagonal (from one rink corner to its diagonal opposite) or circular. The sequence may be done in hold, not touching, or a combination of both. More info can be found here:
http://www.usfsa.org/content/2018-19...RD Chart.pdf

So, with that in mind, let's give this baby a whirl! As I said, Mr Tech I'm not, so if I miss something or screw something up, by all means feel free to point this out. I think the more we know about ID, the more enjoyable it becomes for everyone.

The first two teams have the same wardrobe colours, but totally different styles — the first is minimalist block colours, the second tons of details.

Indeed I was wondering if it's not difficult for her to skate with that dress, but I suppose they are already used with their costumes and everything

 

[WeakAnkles]

And youtube is skipping like a warped record.

This is definitely not my day

 

[Colonel Green]

The contrast between S/E and the others in this flight will be especially sharp.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Xizi CHEN / Jianing XING
Country: China
Music:
Choreography by:
Costumes: Red dress with red sequins for her, basic black with red tie for him


Required Elements:

AT Pattern - Need better extension on the free leg, but finally a AT with some speed and tango feeel
Twizzles - let's be honest, an out of control bit of a mess
Midline NT STSeq - the edges aren't the best, but they're skating it OUT (she caught on quick the rule to flirt with the judges when dancing the tango)
Curve Lift - pretty basic, could use more of a curve and don't Western Union that entry so much

Cute ending

What a difference a year can make. They're only a year older than the last pair but look much more mature.Viva la difference! Keep an eye on them. She's got something. He's working on it

Score: 39.36 (20.56 TES, 18.80 PCS)

 

[SnowWhite]

I like her dress, not sure about his look.

 

[flanker]

The broadcast is really freezing today :ddevil:

 

[SnowWhite]

Stream is struggling.

 

[SnowWhite]

Definitely a huge difference compared to the previous 3 teams.

 

[Colonel Green]

Well-performed, as you’d expect. The music is kind of forgettable.

 

[TheBallerina]

I love their speed and "explosion". Nice job! :agree:

 

[Colonel Green]

Sofia has the best dress we’ve seen thus far.
