Thank you for posting the article!
It does look like Grinenko worked mostly with Davis/White and maybe just helped out a bit with the other skaters' programs. But we have no idea how good of an ice dance choreographer she is or if she's better than other ballroom experts Tessa and Scott have worked with in the past. There's no point in getting all worked up about this. I do think that Igor favours D/W, and that Marina favours V/M. So it balances out somewhat. But it has to be difficult to train with your main rivals. I'm sure it's very motivating, but at the back of your mind, you're probably wondering whether your coaches want the other team to win. It's bound to happen, no matter how fair the coaches try to be. I wouldn't be surprised if one of D/W or V/M leave Canton at some point (assuming V/M continue to compete). |

What lifts have D/W taken from V/M? Why do refuse to believe that the two teams are just friendly competitors. If V/M weren't happy with the way they were treated or the amount of attention they got, they could have left. So lets trust that they're adults who can make decisions on their own. Quit making them out to be the victims of favoritism. Besides, I always got the feeling that V/M were more under the wing of Marina rather than Igor and that's fine. __________________

And if two or three teams want to use the same music, to do the same elements - how coaches have a deal with this? Reall yintresting to know. Dont think Marina have favors - she look happy with made from individual sport team sport - thats why she worked with D-W programs during season, when from the begining this was really bad Igor choreo and Marina mad eit look a little better. Without this help V-Mbecome 2 time WCh. And she work with her son now. In this situation werid thing is - Marina ask Grinenko to work with all teams, when Igor - only with D-W. So if you want to give only 1 team all best (i am sure, he afraid latin program for D-W, because he did bad latin dance for Chock-Zuerlan and the changed it and he see, how V- are good in dancing) - maybe other teams didnt need to pay him money? Why only Marina need to think about buisness? Quote:
And if Igor didnt want to let other teams work with Grinenko, why Marina need to help D-W with FD choreo? The problem is - all teams in too young, when Davis become 25 soon. They didnt understand, whats happened, they didnt know nothing about reall adult life. Scotts relatives were very unhappy with WCh - so i cant understand, why they didnt let Scott know, that coaches didnt work on them anymore? They didnt work against them, but Igor work on Davis, Marina - on Fedor and Shibs. And they need T-S only to sold them for better places for USA teams. But i think for V-M its a badtig to have the same chorejgrahfer with D-W. We really dont know, what Grinenko could do on ice and i know, and D-W not strong off-ice dancers.

I find it humorous that you're the poster (here and elsewhere) always complaining about Tessa and Scott not using more outside choreographers that are different from the ones used by Meryl and Charlie, but when an article comes out (on a figure skating website that concentrates on American skaters) highlighting how an outside choreographer was brought in for Meryl and Charlie, you use it as potential proof that the fix is in and Tessa and Scott are possibly being screwed over by their coach. "Asking permission" is likely, as shsocu pointed out, done as a professional courtesy, not done because Meryl/Charlie/Igor always make sure to get the biggest slice of the pie before doling out the rest of it to the other teams in the rink.

I agree with you in one thing - if V-M didnt have a goal to win gold again, they dont need to change coaches and choreo and could stay at home, sweet home
You didnt find werid, that Marina ask Grinenko to work with her group after she and her skaters return on ice? If they had different vision for Shibs, Kh-A - why they need to do this? And i know, what Igor do with there teams and what is Marinas work. Before Marina brought Tsaikovskay for both teams before OG. She could ask her to work only with Tessa and Scott, but she didnt this. I understand, this is really good news for D-W fans, but if people want to see reall situation - is this look greate? Before both teams had dance instructors, but now thins change? I wish to see D-W programs without Marinas help - only pure Igor choreo. |

Hey guys, long time no see! Real life has kept me away from the fandom for a while, but I'm super excited to find out what Tessa and Scott come up with for next season.
And about Igor bringing in another choreographer to work with Meryl and Charlie first--is it possible that he thought they needed more help with the Latin dance than Tessa and Scott, who had just done quite a good Latin FD, did? Last edited by hackysack; 07-07-2011 at 02:39 PM |

hey gals, haven't gone anywhere, just went back to lurker status for a bit
Kurt Browning's website has the new NBC ice show schedule up - I'm so dissapointed that there isn't a Shall We Dance on Ice, or a show in Canada, two traditions I thought might become annual events - I mean if they can make the weird skatenastics hybrid a yearly thing.... The Kurt Files - 2011-2012 Season Events anyways, it would be cool if TS did the Beatles tribute one with IWTHYH, they often add more performers closer to the date eta: although they couldn't skate actually with the tribute band, the tempo is so much faster.... as always, thanks for all the updates and pics and etc everyone posts (and the great discussions) |

And this could be another side - if one team lost to anothe 1 time they could stop compete, because they stop belive they could be on top again. And this situation with all this year splits at this camp, situation with Silvershtein in the past show that situation at this camp isnt perfect. Quote:

I think if T-S will skate in this show, this will mean they will not skate at SC/ But they are not in the cast - so i have a hope Happy for Kerrs - look, like they have busy show life ow Last edited by fsfan1; 07-07-2011 at 02:53 PM |

Hacky and Anne! Awesome to see you guys again.

In addition to the fact that Elena's area of expertise as a dancer is fairly specific, and it's possible that the direction Igor (and Marina) wish to take Meryl and Charlie's SD is fundamentally different from the direction the other teams will be taking (say M/C might be going with Rhythm rather than Latin, if we're going to look at this as ballroom on ice), so that she spent more time on actual choreo for Meryl and Charlie and perhaps more on general expression and basic movement with Tessa and Scott and the Shibs. __________________
