Several things I love about Piper & Paul: very solid skating skills, ability to make very complicated moves look so easy, always innovative and creative original choreography and costuming, always entertaining programs, and they keep reinventing themselves to look different than their competition. Love these
Wow. I am impressed. No wonder that they are called the most original couple. And their skating skills improved so much. Now it seems that they were born on the rink.
I love when i discover something sitting right under my nose. This was absolutely fantastic. I love the fantasy theme. Under exposed choreographers are just the way to go as their ideas are novel and fresh
Cristopher Dean - an under exposed choreographer with novel ideas? He has choreographed for Jane Torvill and himself since the end of 70s. He also choreographed for Duchesnays (a french brother and sister ice dancing team). They won the worlds in 1991 and had the Olympic silver in 1992 very much thanks to Dean's choreography. His recent works include choreography for Crone and Poirier.
actually really like this program. I think they should keep it and infuse more difficulty. I like Christopher Dean's choreography especially when all the other top teams are really from just a couple of camps. Not taking anything away from those teams, but it's nice to have the contrast. Also, Paul's rear end - wow. lol
If you would watch some of Cristopher Dean's programs, you'd realize that most ideas in this dance are not so novel. It's practically impossible to come up with something totally new, when one has been choreographing for so long. I agree that this is different compared to most other ice dance choreographies now, though. Still, it doesn't look that well executed to me yet (at least compared to the current top pairs).
the word i should have used was over used not under exposed. The execution issue is a result of them not quite having the skill level of the top teams. I commend them for taking this on
They're better than this choreography. The music selections were really odd too. And "Sweet Dreams" w a voice no where near Annie Lennox. SMH. Amazing potential. They just need better programs and they'll be on top.
