Seeing the initial pose I thought they were going to skate to some tribal danceWow I really liked that BUT especially the first half didn't seem like a Tango at all more Flamenco. It was like a mixes RD half Tango/Flamenco. I love them though they really look different to other couples and their choreography is always interesting .Their music choices are certainly different never picking war horses.This music is so dramatic and bombastic and will be a nice change to their BLUES FD!
They really took it in their stride after the dance interruption stern at first but then laughing and clapping.I think a great season ahead for them:luv17:
Did anyone understand why they were interrupted? What did the girls remove from the ice?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xosbBGipVE They are unlucky! But I like this program!

From what I understand, the teams can combine the compulsory rhythm -- this year tango -- with whatever they like. So SB are not the first ones I saw this year who have a core of flamenco with the tango romantica on the side. I find it in fact nice, it makes the whole RD less repetitive and boring.
Yes, that was absolutely stunning!! For me, their programs are WAY better than H/D's. I am in fact really not impressed with what H/D bring this year, and I feel that Sasha and Vanya and also WeaPo should really end in front of them. (Of course there is the technical aspect that I'm not able to judge at all...)Absolutely loved their free dance! Agree with another poster in here that said taking a page out of Hubbell and Donahue’s book really suits them. They really do suit the blues - they have such good chemistry which they are able to really exploit with these bluesy performances. Really liked the innovation in the choreography. Super excited for them this season!
Sorry for this off-topic, but you started the comparison, so...For me, their programs are WAY better than H/D's.

Such fire in this routine, I really hope they will end up high because they definitely deserve it with such energy!
This is going to be a great season!
Oooohhh... you really started a fire in me hereSorry for this off-topic, but you started the comparison, so...
I think H/D should not be written of. They clearly have one of the best, if not the best, skating skills after P/C. And this is the beginning of the season. They obviously were not in their best shape at US Classics. I think their RD is okay, it just needs some polishing and to be skated better, especially the steps. As for the FD, I am sure that if the feedback and their results with it won't be good enough they and their coaches and choreographers will either make changes to this FD to make it more interesting or even change it completely. They have done that before (well, they have not completely changed their programs during the season, but they have made serious changes).
As for S/B, I like the RD, and I know that ice dancers can combine tango with any other rhythm, but, admittedly, this is the least tango-like RD that I have seen thus far this season. I hope judges are not going to punish them for it, otherwise they will need to make changes too. The FD is wonderful for them and can bring them quite far this season. Still, let's not forget that it is not all about programs, it is also about the skating, levels etc. . S/B's skating seems improved this season, but there are also other teams with really good or even better skating skills (namely, H/D and W/P). H/D are also able to earn really high levels. So there is that to compete with.
