it blows my mind that they are like the only team that consistently use the dance spin to it’s full potential. why do many teams go okay lets do positions and positions changes that have 0 relation to the music

at least for me watching fan cams really helps, like you just cannot grasp the difference between skaters unless you have a fixed pov thats not on the ice

it’s so awesome that everyone acknowledges that their scores are fake including commentators and yet they continue to get shot into the stratosphere

the top teams this season being fbc, ds, and fg like man bye

we taught this monkey about the state of ice dance scoring. the monkey killed itself

lilah and lewis churning out promo pieces hyping up the amount of dedicated effort that went into their programs this season, and how they wanted them to elevate their skating. and those are the programs in question

nothing in it feels impactful, like the phrasing of everything just feels off? the stali was cool (i know they’ve used it before) but i don’t think it’s worth it if it’s gonna be clunky

evgeniia and geoffrey’s free dance isn’t working

caroline and michael having a tango that feels creatively driven and isn’t just faux tango holds, steps, and vibes

oona and gage cover no ice in their twizzles as a form of social commentary against the overemphasis on twizzles in current day ice dance

llg the alleged top dance team in canada right now scoring a whopping 107 in the free

you could pull a four year fan off the street to commentate ice dance and they’d have about the same amount of insight as chris

literally like looove doing a bracket and then just holding the exit edge out of it it makes me feel the worlds most artistic skater LOL

brackets are so humbling every time i do one i look at the ice and its never even remotely clean LOL

very upright; everything always stays on one plane. and there’s a lot of two foot skating still. but other than that, it’s crazy that we have someone who is well rounded as well as an actually good competitor

i feel like because mao has so much going for her it makes me watch her skating with a more critical eye. her programs are a LOT better than last season, and the spark that she had her first couple seasons as a junior is back, but the programs on a construction level still feel

so there’s this 18 year old girl who has maybe the greatest mental fortitude of anybody ever

mao has landed more quad toes this season than she has the last 2 years
