<\/strong>I really enjoyed this team in Lake Placid, so I was thrilled to see them again. In just two weeks, I could already see improvements in their strong, smooth delivery of this program. I\u2019m honestly not crazy about the neon costumes, but they photograph well and they\u2019re eye-catching, so I guess they get the job done. This performance was highlighted by a good rotational lift and a lot of expression, even in the difficult straightline footwork, which earned them a level three. I thought this dance was polished, definitely deserving of first place, and it I think they will do well with it on the Junior Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>I also saw this dance two weeks ago in Lake Placid, and I felt like they gave a more confident performance here. The choreography is simple, and perhaps this was emphasized since they followed Chock & Zuerlein, but I think the choreography and style suits them. I didn\u2019t feel like they were trying to do more than they should have, which is so common at the junior level. It is obvious that they feel comfortable with this dance. I think their best element was the spin, which opened the program, and which was awarded a level four.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>This program appeared very new, and they made multiple mistakes in it. However, I thought the choreography was well done, integrating what appeared to be authentic tribal dance steps, at least to my untrained eye. The choreography made good use of a variety of levels \u2013 by this, I mean that they used both upright and low positions throughout the program. I think that they showed good interpretation of the music that they chose, but I would like to see even more commitment to the choreography and portrayal of the character from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
