Scott Moir ღ Tessa Virtue ♥ #83 ~ Because we're counting down the days 'til All That Skate Summer!

Strangely, everything feels so similar to this time last year. Our sense of anticipation, their goals which (obviously) are the same, the Grand Prix which are the same... Only now they'll actually get to be there, no more October bad news, please!
 
They show Yu-Na show every time online. So hope this will be and this time.
Did we have this show program? We could read there what programs all skaters will perform.
 
I don't think Yuna's popularity in and meaning to South Korea can be at all compared with Tessa and Scott's significance to Canada, much as I love them.

And Canada has a show that heavily features Tessa and Scott in Stars On Ice -- it's a different beast as Yuna's shows are sponsored by her own company, but it's undeniable that for the last two years they've served as centerpieces of the promotion and the show itself (featured spots throughout the program, in addition to their own nurabers). And Stars On Ice doesn't touch Yuna's shows in terms of success or turnout or sheer audience enthusiasm, for reasons having nothing to do with promotion of Tessa and Scott or not: figure skating is at the height of its popularity in Korea, and Yuna is essentially a folk hero -- she's the first of her nation to accomplish the things she's accomplished. It's the same reason she's unlikely to actually retire any time soon, regardless of how much it seems she prefers the show life. Conversely, after peaking in the Michelle Kwan era, the sport is on the wane in North America, despite the success of N.A.'s dance teams. Tessa and Scott and Meryl and Charlie might be better served featuring in a show based in east Asia.

wow.... this picture is rather unfortunate
seriously who choreographed this

i hope videos of the broadcast will be uploaded asap! i dont think i could stay up (or get up early)
 
Verity, thankyou for posting that. Now, THAT is a program! In terms of encapsulating the Latin feel of the dance, they have it - just need a little more. The incorporation of the botofogos, saraba rolls, batucadas and assisted spins was exemplary. They executed these elements brilliantly and like I've never before seen on ice.
 
I'm guessing this piece won't make the music selection, but the scene is great.

I think the Charleston program was meant to be stage-y (personally, I liked it, it just needed more practice time, like all their programs in the 08-09 season, except for the Paso Doble, which was divine:) ) I think Funny Face will have neither the Charleston, nor the Urabrellas feel. A stylish ballroom type of program, but with a hint of irony and humour in it. At least that's how I'm imagining it, but I could be totally wrong. One thing I can't figure out is how the acrobatic lifts will fit in all of this...
 
Scott's face absolutely makes that saraba cartwheel photo triptych.

ETA: N/M; I think this is one of those things I knew at one point and had noticed somewhere back there but had somehow failed to properly register for lack of particular caring on the point, heh.
 
I don't think there's anything wrong with them doing a theatrical routine; it's different than what they've done, but I'm sure it will be amazing nontheless :)

ETA- As a tap dancer, I'm curious as to how Alex and Maia will tap dance on skates! SounRAB pretty cool!
 
It's ON! ;)



It would certainly make a splash with the judges, heh. Although if they went with that exact V/O, I'd occasionally find myself thinking not of Hepburn, but of a Rice Krispy snowwoman, and that would just be odd. ;)

(Three ;) post, is that a record?

There, perfect.)

I do want to know if Tessa's getting to use the score and narrative of her favorite film is going to be compensated for in some way. I know I joked earlier about this meaning a country exhibition, but I suppose a more equivalent approach would be a BlooRABport program. Hmm...
 
TFTNT! haven't been on in a long time and how wonderful is it to come back to story time brought to you by the ever amazing, Kris! :D

I love that new rehearsal video. I've always loved watching skaters in practice clothes - i guess it's because I feel like i'm actually there watching them. Oh sigh..Tessa and Scott are so soft and natural on the ice. I love it. I was so happy to see them again, even briefly, in the video (the video was as if it said, "Enough Yuna! Bring on the Virtue and Moir for 5 seconRAB!!!"). They make for beautiful screen captures.

This one is my absolute favorite, as simplistic as it is.

Yeah, it must be so much fun for the skaters. They get to feel like rockstars for a couple nights!

The Hiphip Chinchin part of the latin nuraber was a bit off, but the rest was great! It'll be interesting to see which parts of the choreography they will keep for the SD. And speaking of the SD, apparently I/K are also doing circular twizzles in theirs...
