- She is 17 and he is 17 and they are skating to Let's Get Loud and Sway
- Yay for the Samba roll at the beginning of their program!
- Nice open leg twizzles to start off; they do three sets; a little slow, but in time with the music; really close on the third set
- They seem very tentative in some of these hold changes and I'd like to see her commit to more of the choreography with her free arm
- He's really selling the Latin feel of this dance
- Rotational lift in a haircutter position--seemed a little long; must be 6 seconds or less otherwise they will be assessed a deduction
- Decent timing on their step sequence
- She is 18 and he is 21
- Nice change of position in the lift with her in a tucked position
- They have a nice flow across the one foot section in their non touching footwork
- No unison through their two sets of twizzles and they seem to get really close in the second set
- I really appreciate that they're trying to put their spin on the Cha Cha and adding extra arm and shoulder movements but some of their hand to hand holds are a little awkward; nice matched leg lines throughout the step sequence
- Rotational lift into the ending pose
- She is 15 and he is 17 and they are skating to Haitian Lady
- Not sold on the one black tight, hopefully it will add to the performance and not be distracting
- Their height difference is so much better this season with a lot less hunching from him in the holds to reach her hands; he seems to be making up for the distance by getting a deeper knee bend instead
- Nice speed and flow through the Cha Cha with nice changes of hold throughout and good matching lines; nice big pattern that comes very close to the boards
- An upside down rotational lift with him holding her by her leg
- It looks like she put her foot down before him in both sets of twizzles and they were slightly off on their timing
- Nice deep edges and good timing in their step sequence but not a lot of Latin flair here
- She is 19 and he is 21 and they are skating to Hot Hot Hot
- Really fart apart on the twizzles and not great timing through the first two sets
- Arch back lift with him in a spread eagle
- They could work on really stretching through their legs and feet in the Cha Cha section; it also looks like they're really concentrating and I'd like to see them relax and have more fun with it
- I'd like to see them have better matching lines in some of their transitional moves
- They need to stretch through their legs and stay with each other during the non touching step sequence
- He falls in the ending pose and takes her down with him
- They are skating to Chilly Cha Cha and Besame Mucho
- Good timing, positions and relationship to each other on the three sets of twizzles
- She could stretch through her legs more in the non touching step sequence
- Flip into a spread eagle lift on his back and a flip foward on to his knees
- Her leg line is better in the Cha Cha, but there are a few places where they aren't completely in sync; nice big pattern all the way up to the boards
- Rotational lift with change of positions into their ending pose
- She is 14 and he is 16 and they are skating to Psychedelic Sally
- Really nice posture from him and it's nice to see the boy having better expression than the girl
- Nice lift with solid position changes
- A little off on their timing in the non touching step sequence
- Second set of twizzles was off on timing
- Rotational transitional lift into the Cha Cha
- In most places their leg lines match up in the Cha Cha but there are a few places they're not completely in sync and I'd like to see her have more stretch through her legs
- She is 18 and he is 20 and they are skating to I Need To Know
- Her dress is my favorite of the evening so far
- Hello Diva faces!
- Flip into a handstand in a spread eagle and flip back to stand on his boot
- Great posture, control, leg stretch, toe point and nice holds in the Cha Cha; nice big pattern and good edge quality
- Good twizzles but they got a little close to the boards on the second set; they probably had the fastest twizzles of the night so far
- Nice push through the one foot section of their step sequence and I love how their arms and heads are always moving with the choreography; she bobbles on one of the last steps in the sequence
- Very professional program and they don't look like juniors
- She is 14 and he is 16 and they are skating to Relax Max/Party is Over
- Cool toss into a fish like lift to open their program
- He swings his leg really far forward in the Cha Cha and it looks like he's going to lose his balance in a few places; the transitions in their holds isn't as clean as some of the other teams; nice matching lines from them
- The first set of their twizzles cross but they don't finish at the same time
- I wonder if she recently has a growth spurt...she has very long limbs and it looks like she's not 100% sure what to do with them yet, but I see lots of potential
- She is 18 and he is 21 and they are skating to Medley
- The hanging fringe on her dress makes me really nervous...hopefully she won't trip on it
- Really nice twizzle sequence with good timing, positions and space between them; only mistake was a small bobble from her at the very end of the second set
- I'd like to see her be a bit more deliberate with some of her leg positions in the Cha Chas as sometimes they're not directly to the back or the side but stuck in the middle
- Nice split lift with her standing on his boot and arching back and him skating on one foot
- Nice arabesque rotational lift at the end of the program
- She is 13 and he is 16 and they are skating to Kaboom and Gabriel's Oboe
- I like that their performance started the second they hit the ice and they have choreography to their opening poses
- Very different look for them--more Western Valentine than Latin and we'll see if it sets them apart or gets them penalized
- They have a ton or presence and personality on the ice for being so young
- Very crisp with the Cha Cha--the red boots really make you pay attention to her legs so it's a good thing they're stretched!
- Really nice relationship with each other and timing on the step sequence
- Good twizzles with good speed and timing
- Flip all the way around into an upside down lift hanging by her legs and him skating backwards on one foot
- Really cool toss into a rotational lift to end their program
- Not sure if this qualifies as Latin but it was definitely entertaining
- They are 19 and skating to a Latin Medley
- She's a lot like Madison Hubbell--way too sexy to dance with her brother
- She falls on the Cha Cha and takes him down with her and they run into the boards and it takes them a bit to untangle and get back into it
- Good timing on the twizzles
- I like that they're really going for the Latin feeling and putting some of the dance steps into their choreography
- I like all the Latin arms in their step sequence
- Flip into an upside down spread eagle lift into a wrap around his leg in a double stag
- They are skating to Sway and Tequila
- I think she's absolutely gorgeous
- She came out of the twizzles one rotation early on the first set
- Nice ice coverage on the step sequence with good edges
- Nice change of holds; matching leg lines; stretch and toe point in the Cha Cha but I'd like to see her relax and smile
- Rotational lift in a haircutter position
- He is in a squat and she is arched back over the ice in their lift
- While I absolutely adore this song (To Make You Feel My Love by Adele) I'm not sure it's Latin
- Nice twizzles with the leg straight out and well timed
- Did they forget to bleep out s**t in Rolling in the Deep?
- Their lines don't quite match through the Cha Cha
- Nice rotational lift over the back of his head
