Nice twizzles in the footwork. good twist on upper body in camel variation. Huge toe jumps. Popped axel.

"Somewhere" from "West Side Story"
Choreographed by Catarina Lindgren

Great arrangement of music. Maybe Joshua Bell? Great dreaa, beautiful package.; I think she may have rotated tooo long in an upright position after her camel and one (or more) of her spiral positions might have been short as well. Did flip and axel in exactly the same spot.

"Hymn to Hope" by Secret Garden
Choreographed by Corrie Martiun

Fast into her flip. change edge spiral was a little diagonal. Has a nice way of holding her head up and a pleasant expression.

Fell on flip. Trouble on donut spin - had to come out early. nice use of arms and hands to music.

Chaochih Liu
"Ascent from the Circle" by Andreas Vollenweider
Choreographed by Tom Dickson

Watched part from the upper aisle - got in late from Novice men. Seemed like a mid-eastern theme. Notice a problem with one jump, but didn't really get to see much.

Swing Kids soundtrack
Choreographed by Susan Austin

Dead on,. great skate for her. Fast (little slow down in footwork) and great smile and solid jumping. Definitely deserved her placement.

"Tosca" by Puccini
Choreographed by Tracy Keefer/Rohene Ward

Nice combo spin to headless scratch. Very big music. May have not held some of the spiral positions for 3 seconds.

Fall on lutz. Does a great job of looking like a ballerina on the ice. Lovely.

Brittney Rizo
"La Cumparsita" (tango)

Not sure what happened to the photos here. But she was fun and saucy and had a lovely fushia colored dress.

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

Nice spiral with her leg up to the side while changing edge. Innovative spin - pancake to an upright pancake with her leg up at hip height. Little ...unaggressive or tentative at times.

Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" performed by Vanessa Mae

Caught her toepick while waiting for prior skater's scores and went down on her knee. Ran into boards while doing her catch foot back inside edge spiral and went down hard.

Tremendous belly flop after landing axel. Ow. Otherwise just wonderful. Great in all the elements and just great all around.
