Stem, Flower & Toe Pick: May 2014
http://toe-pick.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
All good things come in threes (.so did Ice Dance). Friday, May 16, 2014. Last month, the ISU published communications 1860. Detailing (as usual) off-season changes to the scale of values, level features and various other technical matters. More changes may be on the way following the upcoming ISU congress. About how skating could be improved. While the Carmen moratorium is probably never going to happen, there are some things that skating can still use more or less of:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Stem, Flower & Toe Pick: April 2014
http://toe-pick.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
All good things come in threes (.so did Ice Dance). Friday, April 11, 2014. I've been a skating fan for most of my adult life - sometimes a dedicated fan, at other times a more casual one. With the latest Olympic season having come to an end and many of my favorite skaters ending their careers, I find myself at a fandom crossroads as I contemplate the off-season and the coming Olympic quadrennial. Even Evan Lysacek studied those stupid birds. Aliona Savchenko, representing. France. Friday, April 4, 2014.

Stem, Flower & Toe Pick: My problem with Schindler's List programs
http://toe-pick.blogspot.com/2016/02/my-problem-with-schindlers-list-programs.html
All good things come in threes (.so did Ice Dance). Thursday, February 18, 2016. My problem with Schindler's List programs. At first glance, it makes sense. A well-regarded, Oscar-winning movie. A beautiful and haunting score that lends itself to interpretation. It's easy to understand why so many skaters and choreographers have used the Schindler's List score for programs. I wish some of them hadn't. About the Schindler's List free dance that they're doing this season:. This is not just about Guignard a...

http://toe-pick.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
All good things come in threes (.so did Ice Dance). Wednesday, August 20, 2014. A new season and a lot of questions. Tomorrow marks the beginning of the 2014-15 season, as the junior Grand Prix. Kicks off in Courchevel - with senior international competitions to follow in a few weeks time. Im still not sure how Ill feel about skating.

Stem, Flower & Toe Pick: That's entertainment: Deniss Vasiljevs, definitely!
http://toe-pick.blogspot.com/2016/01/thats-entertainment-deniss-vasiljevs.html
All good things come in threes (.so did Ice Dance). Friday, January 29, 2016. That's entertainment: Deniss Vasiljevs, definitely! Sometimes, watching Junior Worlds leads to excellent discoveries. Such was the case for me in 2014; never mind the medalists, I was was intrigued by the fourteen-year-old from Latvia. With creative spins and and a wonderfully engaging personality, Deniss Vasiljevs was a skater to watch. Vasiljevs, 2014 edition. I'll even accept the voiceover. It had better be. Stem, Flower, an...

All good things come in threes (.so did Ice Dance). Thursday, January 29, 2015. Saffron, earlier today: Oh la la Le French dance team. J'adore. Me: I hope they will be on for the FD, because the SD actually is their weaker program. Saffron: OMG What is that FD? Love love love. They have insane chemistry, I have not seen anything so hot on the ice and they are insanely fluid and sharp. Hurtado/Díaz are in the top 5! Certainly not in recent years). Labels: 2015 European Championships. That's Entertainment:...

All good things come in threes (.so did Ice Dance). Wednesday, March 2, 2016. Ennio Morricone and figure skating. Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze, Lady Caliph. Not only is it the best program to Morricone music, it's one of the best programs ever seen in skating. Perfection. Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy, The Mission - the free skate from their breakthrough 2006-7 season. In 2012-13, Kiira Korpi skated to Once Upon in America (in a gorgeous dress, as always). Too many skaters to name. Stem,...
