2023 U.S. Nationals Sr. Free Dance

[labgoat]

Small but mighty crowd includes Shona Uno, Marco Fabri, Jean-Luc Baker

 

[YuBluByMe]

Brown/Brown gave the best performance by far. The entire first group practically put me to sleep. It took all I had not to start fiddling with my phone.

Are Oona and Gage the fastest and most precise ice dancers I have ever seen? No.

Do I enjoy watching them and their lifts and their steps? Yes.

In the words of Rohene Ward, the audience will remember how you made them feel.

Ditto that. I love their attack and originality. But the judges....

Lady in the audience just holding onto your phone and not clapping, I am judging you.

 

[labgoat]

Well bluedelune can Oona & Gage join the small but mighty club?

 

[yelyoh]

Ok judges I'll let you live to see another day.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Can't speak for Elektra but Ichat agrees

 

[elektra blue]

Well bluedelune can Oona & Gage join the small but mighty club?

of course! and they come with a seasoning of italian basil too

 

[labgoat]

Bella & Ivan wowed me in the RD

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Pet peeve: this Woodkid song actually has a beat underneath it and I don’t get why ice dancers keep removing that beat to make it heavier and less unique

 

[Seven Sisters]

Lady in the audience just holding onto your phone and not clapping, I am judging you.

There is no accounting for taste, though. Especially in ice dance, I’ve learned!

 

[labgoat]

I am happy my U.S. friends and my world friends all in same thread

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh, costume issue!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh no, devastating lift issue

 

[labgoat]

Pleasant but the Browns were better on my scorecard

 

[YuBluByMe]

Flores/Desyatov is another couple that kept my attention. They can pull off subtlety. But that last lift was distracting because all I could see was Flores’ butt.
