strong until then.

EW- I thought this dance was actually a little scrapey and slow in spots.What
the heck.

FD: Very fast. Couple of littel stumbles. Came to a stop, then did twizzles
VERY slowly.
Emily Samuelson and Evan Bates - 3/6/5
EW- Nice overall. He seems like a very strong partner. They have a nice look
together.
PD - Rough on slip step. Leggy look - like 2 colts taking a try at Dressage.
Good try at expression/
FD: GREAT free dance. high energy - showed them off really well. Great dance
spin - fast.
Kaitlyn Weaver and Charles Clavey - 7/5/6
EW - timing off at end of rink on first pass. Bit of a tug of war. altered
speed on difficult parts. faded speed at end.
PD- Expression good. Speed uneven again.
Annie Maguire and Charlie Hill - 10/11/10
EW- Nice lean. Out of synch. slow and seperated more in hard bits
PD- push and pull. Upper bodies were unstable.
Elizabeth Palmer and Ryland Stucke - 5/3/4
EW- Little mis-match on extension. Nice otherwise.
PD - Begining and end "buisness" were rough, but the dance itself
was very well done.
FD:Twizzles got off a couple of times. Slowed for rough bits, and were a little
slow throughout. Dance spin traveled.
Adrienne Koob-Doddy and Robert Antonelli -
4/2/3
EW - greta speed and edges, but looked a little rough and tuggy in places.
PD - Great dance for them Stompy and sharp and expressive. Lovely.
FD: Weak at beginning - out of Synch - tense looking. Rough footwork, with
a stumble.
Megan Calhoun and Kevin Miller - 12/12/12
EW- Look like they are new to the dance. Or new with each other.
PD - She almost fell on the back edge after slip steps.
Suzanne Lazarowitz and Nathan Jarmuth - 11/10/10
EW- Timing issues
PD -Likewise
This team was actually very interesting. They skate well, just not to the
beats of the dances. And he lookes like the Dell spokesperson - my husband's
comment was that all he could think was "Dude, you got a Dell".
And she looks very grown up and serious. I think I am looking forward ot their
free dance. It is music from James Bond movies. They should be very entertaining.
They just seem so excited to be here and happy to be skating. I had fun with
them.
