"Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues
Choreographed by Doug Ladret

Really tough skate.Landed 2 axel. Fell on 3 toe. 2 footed and stepped out of 3 sal, which may well also have been underrotated. He lovely spirals and spins could not save her.

Ladies in Lavender soundtrack
Choreographed by Wendy Burge

She did a great job. He combo was hidden in the corner, one of the tech panel had to stand up to see; and they may have done a replay on it. I couldn'e see it either, but I think it was 3 sal-2toe? She did a great job - musical, greast spins. good speed. Spiral a bit slow and her free leg wasn't as extended as it could have been, but that's just nit-picking.

"Summertime" by George Gershwin
Choreographed by Scott Brown/Susie Wynne Barth

I loved this. Loved this version of Summertime - slow beginning, then got jazzy. Wonderful. Fast and Confident. Nice facial expression. good spins. And landed her jumps too!!

Waltz from "My Sweet and Tender Beast" by E. Doga
Choreographed by Faye Kitariev

Wonderful positions. Great use of arms. Wonderful speed. The audience was shocked by her placement. I haven't looked at the protocal, but I assume somehting got downgraded/not counted?

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Stellar. Wonderful emotion on her face and through her whole body movement. You felt like you were skating it with her. Just transcendant.

"The Pink Panther"
Choreographed by Andrei Berekhovski/Antonina Berekhovskaia

fell on axel and singled second jump of combo. Spiral sequence was wobbly and she lost hold of her foot in the first catch foot position - so the level for the sequence probably took a hit..

"Libertango" by Astor Piazzolla
Choreographed by Larisa Selezneva

I think she put a hand down on the opening loop. turned out of 2 axel, but fought for it. Wonderful spin. Positions, speed and centering great.
