2021 US Nationals Junior Dance

[PRlady]

W/C still impress me. Not just technically but their performance is first-rate!

 

[Wyliefan]

Ahead of the Browns! I like them, but I didn't expect that!

 

[Dobre]

Very nice. Looked bang! on target to me. I was a little distracted at the beginning, but the part I saw looked great.

 

[jlai]

So they unwithdrew to win the short

 

[Dobre]

Was this W/C music last year?

Yes. Both teams, same music. (Because if you are going to choose the same music as one other team on the planet, fate can test you by making sure it is the team you go head-to-head with the most times throughout a season).

 

[Wyliefan]

They're both such great teams. I hope we get to watch this rivalry for many years!

I love the top two teams but am also excited for Neset/Markelov. They both skate on such deep edges and her lines are beautiful.

I know tall people find it annoying when people comment on how tall they are but I just can't imagine being that tall. It's weirdly awe-inspiring to me.

 

[PRlady]

Oh finger-guns how I’ve missed you.

 

[mjb52]

Oh do I have a program from The Ice Age for you!!!

 

[Rukia]

This program is everything

 

[Amy L]

Oh god, finally someone using the original version of this song!!

 

[Wyliefan]

I know tall people find it annoying when people comment on how tall they are but I just can't imagine being that tall. It's weirdly awe-inspiring to me.

I envy them. They don't have to climb up the grocery shelves.

 

[mjb52]

It's funny that they skated to this because I was thinking yesterday that she has an 80's movie look.

 

[beckab81]

Really fun program from Tachenko/Killakov - but did they almost crash in the first twizzle?

 

[Rukia]

Disaster movie La Vie en Rose!

 

[PRlady]

Yes, or he ended up twizzling around her.

She’s got a bit of Young Tanith going on.

 

[beckab81]

LOVE Phan's dress!

 

[Spun Silver]

This team doesn't seem quite fast enough to keep up with their choreography. Kinda cool program though.

 

[Colonel Green]

Pham/Rogers are well-matched in terms of having long legs (though he's verging on being too tall for her).

 

[mjb52]

looooooooooong wait for scores

 

[Colonel Green]

"Tell me my scores cuz I need to know..."

 

[mjb52]

He sort of looks like Joseph Klein from yesterday! (to me)

 

[Rukia]

Goodness this song again.

 

[Colonel Green]

Why does the US have so many sibling dance teams compared to every other country?

 

[shan]

Goodness this song again.

There must have been a sale.

 

[Spun Silver]

Huh? This music is a total mismatch. And the fall on me curse! But what beautiful skating quality.

 

[Rukia]

This program is kind of a hot music mess.
