Short Dance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Group A<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tarrah Harvey & Keith Gagnon (CAN)
\u201cStraight to Number One\u201d
Really fun Latin feel in this program, sharp and sassy.\u00a0 Unfortunately, a few missteps here and there, including a big stumble in the footwork that probably caused a dent in their score.\u00a0 42.63, 5th.<\/p>\n

Madison Hubbell & Zachary Donohue
Program starts with sexy hip action, and right away, they seem very smooth for a new couple.\u00a0 Small problem on the twizzle sequence, but a great start and a big statement for this team.\u00a0 50.24, 1st (2nd in TES, 1st in PCS).<\/p>\n

Anastasia Cannuscio & Colin McManus
Despite a fall (to knee) on a transition, they really sold the program.\u00a0 Great Latin dancing, very sassy.\u00a0 Precise and well-rehearsed, without looking overly choreographed or losing the rhythm.\u00a0 She rocked the Navka headband!\u00a0 45.22, 3rd.<\/p>\n

Katherine Pilgrim & Alex Lorello
Music from The Mask
A lot of character to this fun program, seemed like they were having a blast.\u00a0 Could be stronger on the elements.\u00a0 29.41, 9th.<\/p>\n

Shannon Wingle & Tim McKernan
\u201cKiss Kiss\u201d + \u201cI Like It Like That\u201d
Great commitment to the music and choreography throughout the program, nice Latin hip action.\u00a0 Very solid outing, style seems to suit them well.\u00a0 42.34, 6th (but 3rd in PCS).<\/p>\n

Anoushka Ritchie-Hervieux & Philippe Mass\u00e9 (CAN)
Mass\u00e9, especially, has a lot of character in this program.\u00a0 Slip-up on the twizzles, overall seemed to lose steam towards the end.\u00a0 30.83, 8th.<\/p>\n

Anastasia Olson & Jordan Cowan
Really sold the program, in particular, a lot sexier presentation from Cowan than we\u2019ve seen in the past.\u00a0 Good unison on the twizzles, strong straightline lift.\u00a0 Would have won the event, except for a two-point deduction for Olson\u2019s split position in a lift being greater than 180 degrees.\u00a0 48.65, 2nd (1st in TES, 2nd in PCS).<\/p>\n

Ginna Hoptman & Pavel Filchenkov
Very solid program, this team has developed well.\u00a0 No noticeable errors, but would love to see more Latin flavour as the season progresses.\u00a0 43.37, 4th.<\/p>\n

Larissa Van As & Troy Shindle (CAN)
\u201cSway\u201d + \u201cMambo Italiano\u201d
The lightness in their skating comes off as tentative in a Latin program.\u00a0 Would love to see them sell this more.\u00a0 35.48, 7th.<\/p>\n

Group B<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sarah Arnold & Justin Trojek (CAN)
\u201cBesame Mucho\u201d + \u201cDo You Only Wanna Dance\u201d
Solid skating and good pattern, but their presentation could use some more spice.\u00a0 Basic skating looks improved over last season.\u00a0 45.87, 3rd.<\/p>\n

Meredith Zuber & Kyle Herring
\u201cEverybody do the Cha Cha\u201d
Also look improved overall compared to last season.\u00a0 Herring\u2019s expression is bigger than what it has been in the past.\u00a0 Nice twizzles.\u00a0 41.72, 4th.<\/p>\n

Isabella Cannuscio & Ian Lorello
\u201cTequila\u201d
Nice twizzles from them, too.\u00a0 Seem really comfortable with this program already.\u00a0 Overall, great expression and a great way to start the season.\u00a0 47.19, 2nd (3rd in TES, 1st in PCS).<\/p>\n

M\u00e9lissande Dumas & David Mackay-Perry (CAN)
New team.\u00a0 Trouble on the twizzles, a few slips throughout the program.\u00a0 They look nice together, though, and there\u2019s room to grow.\u00a0 30.03, 7th.<\/p>\n

Brittany Schmucker & Adam Munday
\u201cThe Cup of Life\u201d + \u201cGenie in a Bottle\u201d
Good skate overall.\u00a0 Final lift wasn\u2019t the most attractive position, not sure if it went as planned or not.\u00a0 Another new team, both with \u201cbig\u201d presentation.\u00a0 37.67, 5th.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Lichtman & Dean Copely
\u201cMambo #5\u201d
Fun program and skated well, looked like they were enjoying themselves.\u00a0 Very close in height, though, and at times, she looks like she might even be taller than him.\u00a0 53.06, 1st (1st in TES, 2nd in PCS).<\/p>\n

Kristen Nardozzi & Robert Cuthbertson
Very sassy in leopard print.\u00a0 Issues in the footwork and a couple of slips overall, but this will be a good program for them this season.\u00a0 36.54, 6th.<\/p>\n

Free Dance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Anoushka Ritchie-Hervieux & Philippe Mass\u00e9 (CAN)
Tango (modern version)
No major errors in this dance, aside from a rough transition during the ending lift. Character of the dance works for them. The next step for them is to perform this program with more crispness and attack, and to increase their overall speed and power. Nice job for a first outing. 58.07, 11th.<\/p>\n

Brittany Schmucker & Adam Munday
Evita
Struggled through the twizzles, but made it (she may have dropped a rotation somewhere). Not much speed throughout the program, but good expression and character. 56.83, 13th.<\/p>\n

Carina Glastris & Kevin Allison
\u201cSummer Wind\u201d + \u201cSaturday Night\u201d
Program seemed quite new, as they were struggling with a few elements.They didn\u2019t give up, though, and fought through the program. First year on the senior level. Costumes look lovely on the ice. 35.57, 18th.<\/p>\n

Anastasia Olson & Jordan Cowan
James Bond
Great speed, and it was maintained throughout. Program is already polished and they look extremely well-prepared, especially for July! Only error was a unison break on the twizzles. Fun (& difficult!) lifts that accentuate the piece. Perhaps a bit too much of the cheesy gun poses\u2014takes away from the drama that was conveyed so well in the rest of the dance. Excellent skate overall. 70.88, 3rd (4th in TES, 3rd in PCS).<\/p>\n

Ginna Hoptman & Pavel Filchenkov
Tango
Second tango in five teams! Strong skate, especially for early in the season. Solid elements overall, mirror twizzles were especially nice. Very accurately skated, but lacking the passion and connection needed for a tango\u2014something to build during the season. 63.70, 8th (5th in TES).<\/p>\n

Sarah Arnold & Justin Trojek (CAN)
(Music was something lyrical that I knew at the time, but forgot to write down)
Flow over the ice has improved since last season. Soft character overall, but occasionally had some stiffness in their upper bodies. Good speed through mirror twizzles. Nice job building intensity throughout the program. 62.94, 9th.<\/p>\n

M\u00e9lissande Dumas & David Mackay-Perry (CAN)
Instrumental piano
Messy twizzles with loss of levels, a couple of rough moments. Seems like the program just needs more mileage. New partnership, need to work on skating stronger together. 46.65, 15th.<\/p>\n

Anastasia Cannuscio & Colin McManus
\u201cThe Way You Look Tonight\u201d + \u201cUnforgettable\u201d + \u201cGet Me to the Church on Time\u201d
What an absolutely charming program! Lovely light, dance-y feel, with nice highlights and attention to detail in their choreography. Spin didn\u2019t go quite as planned, but the rest of the elements were solid. Entertaining, and definitely uplifting. 67.08, 5th.<\/p>\n

Shannon Wingle & Timothy McKernan
Riverdance
Overall, very dramatic, \u201cepic\u201d take on Irish dancing. Built on a similar program they had during the 2009-2010 season (folk OD). Good elements, woven well into the program. Twizzles (3 sets) looked solid. Probably had level issues. 64.49, 7th (11th in TES).<\/p>\n

Kristen Nardozzi & Robert Cuthbertson
Saturday Night Fever
Disco is also uplifting! Few little mix-ups with the feet, and had to really hang on to the twizzles, but the elements seemed secondary in this fun program. Great performance skills. Awesome choice for them. 45.95, 16th.<\/p>\n

Meredith Zuber & Kyle Herring
\u201820s theme, including \u201cLet\u2019s Fall in Love\u201d
Fun Charleston to open, captured the audience right away. Touched down on twizzles, but other elements were good, and lifts were in the character of the program. Great expression from start to end. 57.03, 12th.<\/p>\n

Janine Halstead & Robert Knopf
\u201cCry Me a River\u201d
Solid program without major errors, but they don\u2019t have the skating skills or speed of some of the other couples. They have a nice connection to each other and continue to improve every year. 44.21, 17th.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Lichtman & Dean Copely
\u201cDark Eyes\u201d
Great attack to this program and it was nice to see them try something more dramatic, since they have generally veered toward lighter\/comedic programs. Looked quite prepared, but the score seemed low, so some elements were probably not given the levels that they were reaching for. 64.54, 6th (10th in TES).<\/p>\n

Tarrah Harvey & Keith Gagnon (CAN)
Rolling Stones music, inc. \u201cAngel\u201d and \u201cPaint It Black\u201d
Very smooth, their skating continues to improve every year. Great ice coverage, especially on the twizzles. Solid elements overall. They do a nice job with interesting lifts, even without much of a height difference. Like L&C, after a couple of years of comedy, it\u2019s nice to see them pull off something more dramatic that still suits them. 68.92, 4th (3rd in TES, 5th in PCS).<\/p>\n

Katherine Pilgrim & Alex Lorello
Techno Paso Doble
We don\u2019t see enough paso doble free dances! Came close to the wall on their twizzles, but got through them. Music was very fast-paced, and they may have lost a bit of energy towards the end, but carried the character through. 52.02, 14th.<\/p>\n

Madison Hubbell & Zachary Donohue
\u201cI Put a Spell on You\u201d
This team is really coming together nicely. Smooth skating and elements looked easy, for the most part. Fast twizzles, well done. She\u2019s the stronger skater in the team, but he\u2019s keeping up with her quite well. Program had a lot of chemistry, especially in the first part. Final part had a touch of hip-hop influence, fun! 76.11, 2nd by a hair (2nd in TES, 1st in PCS).<\/p>\n

Larissa Van As & Troy Shindle (CAN)
\u201cProud Mary\u201d + \u201cDaydream Believer\u201d + \u201cSpirit in the Sky\u201d
Great job on the twizzles (3 sets), elements were solid, but need more power through them. They are so light on their feet, which is really nice to see, but need to pick up more speed<\/p>\n

Music suits them, although they seemed a bit cautious at the beginning and didn\u2019t really get into character until the final piece, which the audience responded to. Nice first outing for this program. 60.00, 10th.<\/p>\n

Isabella Cannuscio & Ian Lorello
Les Mis\u00e9rables
Skated in black practice clothes because their costumes had not arrived yet. Great job on the twizzles (3 sets). A few bobbles here and there throughout the program, but they did not let the intensity drop and gave this skate their best. Program has a ton of potential as they get even more comfortable with it. 76.12, 1st (1st in TES, 2nd in PCS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
