JGP Lake Placid Free Dance

Allik/Bellantuono, EST: 55.91 Total: 93.15

• She has a wonderful leg line
• Nice flip up to a lift behind his head with a change of position to laying on his leg while he's in a spread eagle
• Good timing and distance between them on the twizzles
• A little choppy in places on their first step sequence--they need to really get in their edges and push across the ice
• Beautiful Biellman position right into a lift with her wrapped around his neck and good speed on the rotation
• Back walkover onto his foot with her in a Biellman position but it seems like she may have hopped off early
• A little off on some of their turns in their second step sequence and her leg line doesn't always match his
• Only one position in the spin so they won't receive as many points
• Nice final rotational lift with her in a stag position over his shoulder but it looks like he's having trouble hanging on to her after the change of position

Aghai/Partanen, FIN: 61.60 Total: 99.91

• I'm not sure I'm in love with the red illusion mesh on her costume but otherwise I like the look of it although the long pieces that keep getting caught between her legs are making me nervous
• They traveled too close togehter on the twizzles and he had to put his foot down to avoid a collision
• I really like her presence on the ice and she has a fire in her eyes that really accentuates this program
• Neat rotational lift starting with her being held straight up and down and moving through two changes of position
• There is a nice ease in all of their change of holds 
• Nice lift with him in a spread eagle and holding her foot in the air while she balances in a haircutter but his spread eagle position could be wider
• I really love the way she uses her arms in this dance spin and uses them fully down to her wrist and finger movements
• I'd like to see them have closer matching leg lines and more stretch through their free legs in this second step sequence; they had a little bobble on a change of hold but got back into it
• Spread eagle lift with her standing on his feet and arching back
• Rotational lift with her being held by her arms but it seems like they're having a little trouble getting out of it

Tessari/Clafato, ITA: 44.47 Total: 79.56

• Haircutter rotational lift seemed slightly slow
• Very far apart on their twizzles but traveling very close together by the end and off on their unison
• I'm not in love with the gree under her skirt but I like the satin sheen as it differentiates her white dress from the ice
• They seem to have trouble getting back into the holds after the turns in the step sequence and are not pushing through their edges
• Decent dance spin but losing speed
• Handstand on his foot with a position change onto his legs while he's in a spread eagle
• Spread eagle curve lift with her wrapped around his waist and suspended over the ice
• They seem to be very off on their unison in this step sequence and I'd like to see better matching leg lines and their knees down into the ice 
• They could have had more power and intensity at the ending to really sell the ending of the POTO story

Yermak/Khimich, UKR: 56.06 Total: 101.08

• Nice stretch from her in the spread eagle lift with him holding her in the air in a Biellman
• Better edge work and unison in their leg line but they seem a little far apart in some of their holds
• One some of their transitional footwork I'd like to see them really go for it instead of just going through the movements
• Travelling apart during the twizzles but good unison
• He could stretch through his free leg on the dance spin and they could have more speed and a smoother change of direction
• She needs more stretch through her leg line in the second step sequence and she seems to be overly anticipating the change of holds instead of just letting them happen
• Nice jump with a twist into his arm for the one arm rotational lift

Heritage/Fast, USA: 60.88 Total: 102.81

• A few little bobbles on the twizzles but good unison
• One arm rotational lift with her in a catchfoot and a nice exit
• Beautiful spread eagle lift with her leg hooked around his shoulder and leaning back; I especially love her use of arms
• Really nice long leg lines and easy strokes across the ice in this step sequence with fast, easy changes of hold
• Nice changes of position in their dance spin but they've completely stopped by the end
• Lost the feed for their second step sequence
• Nice intricate changes of position in their straight line lift
• I really like their connection with this music and with each other in this program and I see a lot of improvement in this team

Pogrebinsky/Gudis, USA: 64.32 Total: 109.73

• She has lovely expression and a nice presence on the ice
• Flip un into a nice fast rotational lift with changes of position
• Nice timing on their twizzles but they get so close to each other in the 2nd set
• She has such long legs but I'm not sure she knows what to do with them yet as she doesn't always fully stretch through her leg
• Nice ease through their dance spin with good positions and easy changes of direction and nice speed throughout
• Great posture in their step sequence but a little bobbly on some of the changes of hold
• Nice one leg straight line lift with her bent back over the ice
• A little bobble on their shoot the duck in a transition movement
• A little awkward in some of these changes of position in the lift
• While their bodies seem a little tentative in places in the step sequence none of that shoes on their faces
• Overall they are a very young team and show a lot of promise and just have some polishing work to do to compete with the best

Bruser/Lum, CAN: 67.61 Total: 110.67

• A little wild on their twizzles and their unison suffered a bit
• Her Pirates costume is almost identical to Meryl's POTO costume
• Good matching leg lines and speed through their step sequence but she could work on her posture in places and not hunching over when she kicks her leg
• Nice straight line lift with a flip over him 
• Kick over hi head into a curve lift with him in a spread eagle position
• Interesting changes of position in their dance spin with a nice ease and good speed maintained throughout
• They seem to be getting good edges but are still choppy in their second step sequence
• She needs more flexibility in the split rotational lift as her legs aren't hitting 180 degrees

Aldridge/Eaton, USA: 83.32 Total: 136.80

• I LOVE her dress.  It's a pinkish/ivory with short sleeves and a lace back and a layered skirt
• She has such natural expression on the ice and they both really seel their programs and commit to the movement instead of just going through the movements
• Great ease in their position changes in the straight line spread eagle lift
• Great posture and use of her arms and upper body through this step sequence with nice speed
• Good edges and nice matching leg lines in their step sequence as well
• Beautiful double camel spin and nice change of position through their dance spin

• Great character in some of the transitional movements of this program--nice choreography
• Solid set of three twizzles with great speed and nice timing
• Nice changes of hold in their second step sequence with good edge work
• Haircutter rotational lift and she could have more stretch through her free leg
• Very solid program, nicely done!

Morozora/Zhirnov, RUS: 64.27 Total: 111.49

• She misses her blade on the jump into the first set of twizzles and takes a hard fall
• They seem to recover nicely and complete the next two sets of twizzles
• They both have nice extension in their legs and good matching lines through their first step sequence
• Leg around his head and a flip up to a haircutter hold for her in the spread eagle lift
• A little bit awkward getting up into their second lift but a beautiful arched position for her
• Nice positions in their dance spin with an awkward change of position
• Good speed in the rotational spin with a nice change of position but a little difficulty getting out of it
• A difficult edge sequence at the beginning of their second footwork sequence and nicely done
• Nice serpentine lift with him in a spread eagle and changing edges in the middle
• Great recovery after that fluke fall in the first seconds of the program

Kosigina/Moroshkin, RUS: 75.80 Total: 135.24

• Some hip hop moves to open up their Michael Jackson program
• Nice flip into their first rotational lift
• Good twizzles
• I'm really not crazy with their cuts and remixes of this music--they detract more than they add to the program
• Very nice edges in their footwork but they seem a little slow
• She needs more flexibility in their straight line lift with her standing on his blade and it looks like she fell out of it early
• She needs to watch her wrist in the step sequences as it sometimes just dangles there and breaks the arm line
• The feed went out through the middle of their program
• While they are technically good in comparison their program seems a bit more junior than Aldridge and Eaton's with some of the choreography and the music cuts

Poulin/Servant, CAN: 68.76 Total: 114.71

• Very nice edges in their step sequence and good matching leg lines; they both have such nice posture and carriage as well
• Nice flip up into a straight line lift with good changes of position
• Nice speed in the dance spin with good positions

• Good timing on their twizzles but very slow

JGP Latvia Dance Preview

The Russians dominated the dance events on the JGP last season and I expect them to do just as well this season.  Their dance field is very deep and some of the top contenders from last season will be returning.  Kosigina and Moroshkin finished 6th at Junior Worlds after claiming two medals on the JGP.  With some of their competition moving up to seniors, they'll have their eyes on the podium at all of their events this season.  There will likely be three teams fighting for the remaining podium slots.  Poulin/Servant of Canada impressed at their lone event last season and just missed the podium.  Prochazkova and Ceska from the Czech Republic scored well in their two events but didn't make the medal stand.  Aldridge and Eaton from the United States finished off the podium in both their events but have done very well in summer competitions.  

One of the advantages the older competitors will have this season is that the short dance is a combination of Latin patterns.  The rhythm, feel and performance quality of Latin dances will be easier to understand and execute by the older skaters as they'll be able to grasp more of the nuances of the movement and show the sexy side that is essential to Latin styles.  One team to watch for is the young team of Tkachenka/Gulitski from Belarus.  At just 13 and 15, they have 5-6 more seasons of JGP eligibility and really have a chance to develop their skating and earn world ranking points.

My podium predictions:

Gold: Kosigina/Moroshkin

Silver: Poulin/Servant

Bronze: Aldridge/Eaton
