Scott ღ Tessa #105 ~ Out Together Dancing Cheek to Cheek
Welcome to the Scott&Tessa thread! . . . . .
Our favourite programs . . . . . . . . Olympic Champions World Champions . . . . . In 2003-2004 season, fourteen-year old Virtue and sixteen-year old Moir made their debut on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. They placed 4th at the event in Croatia and 6th in Slovakia. At the 2004 Canadian Figure Skating Championships, they won the Junior title, qualifying them for the 2004 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, where they placed 11th. They skated to Russian Medley choreographed by their future coach Marina Zoueva and Tutti Frutti. Canadian commentators were gushing about this remarkable new couple, calling them the new Bourne and Kraatz. Coached by Paul MacIntosh and Suzanne Killing, Virtue and Moir were quickly making themselves known in the figure skating world for their intricate footwork and incredible skating abilities. . . . . . “All of a sudden, one day I woke up and ice dance and T e s s a ... that was my whole life.” . . . . . - Bring Me Flowers - - Jump Then Fall- - Mary's Song - - Sway - - Open Your Eyes To Love - - You'll Be in My Heart - - The Way - - Two Is Better Than One - - Soulmate - - Fever - - We're Dancing - - Why Don't You & I - - Forever - - Grace - - Vanilla Twilight - - All We Are - - Crazy For This Girl - - Come on Get Higher - - At The Beginning - - Possibly, Maybe - - Best Days - - Gravity - - One Moment More - - Awake - - Amazed - - The Day I Fall in Love - - Super Duper Cute - - High - - Kiss the Rain - - Around You - - Cosmic Love - - Attractive Tango - - Northern Sky - - There's Too Much Love - - Journey to Gold - - Fireflies - - Starry Eyed - - I Wanna Hold Your Hand - - You Can - - Evacuate The Dance Floor - - May I -

The GPF results were ridiculous. My exhibit A and B: DW vs VM #16 - 2014 Short Dance - Cut D/R (GPF) - YouTube DW vs VM #17 - 2014 Free Dance - Cut D (GPF) - YouTube At least we got to witness those two incredible performances, that's what really matters - they won handily, even if the marks don't reflect that. And I actually liked Seasons this time! The emotion, the musicality was ON, not to mention the much more important technical execution that they finally nailed, and I think most of the small changes they made were definite improvements. It's probably never going to be my second favourite FD (because really, that's all it's in the running for haha), but if they keep going in this direction, I really can be happy with it. It was just nice to see them acting like themselves. What confused me is that they usually start the season off with the emotion already there - Carmen, FF, the first performances have the feeling from the start, so I don't know why it took so long for this one to get going in that way. I don't know if it's been the reality show or that it's been a difficult program to train for some reason, or if they're just trying something new this year lol. So glad they've figured it out!! I haaaaated not liking a V/M program at this very important time. And this is probably a long shot still, but the scores were SO close this time - I almost wonder if they still have a chance in Sochi. Like two times in the past, when D/W were gifted the GPF, but not the whole season... |

Okay, so 'made it myself' means, took someone else's beautiful photograph, then cropped it down and picked a colour setting. ('someone else' being Elina Paasonen). But thanks -- I must admit to having a little too much fun making icons. __________________

Ehy guys, I made a crazy (or maybe not) project...
We have always accused DW to be the same in every program, saying that if you put another music does not change anything, just the costumes. Well, that's what I did. Last night, I began simply out of curiosity and to take away this doubt, but the doubt has materialized. So I decided to make these videos so as to show them to you and see what you think. I swapped the musics and programs of the past season with the current one, ditto for VM .. with the only difference that for the FD I used Mahler seen that is the object of criticism this year. Davis & White - I have found that 95% (or something more) of all 4 programs fits perfectly. DW #1 Giselle - My Fair Lady DW #1 My Fair Lady - Giselle DW #3 Notre Dame - Sherazade DW #4 Sherazade - Notre Dame DW #5 Brindisi/Musetta's Waltz - My Fair Lady DW #6 My Fair Lady - Brindisi/Musetta's Waltz DW #7 Sansone e Dalila - Sherazade DW #8 Sherazade - Sansone e Dalila Virtue & Moir - Not matches absolutely nothing. VM #1 And The Waltz Go On - Cheek to Cheek VM #2 Cheek to Cheek - And The Waltz Go On VM #3 Mahler - Seasons VM #4 Seasons - Mahler Last edited by *Ice Princess*; 12-14-2013 at 09:40 AM |

So, I didn't learn much from this "Dancing 101" that W Network put on VM's show website, but I did remember how much I miss practice pictures/videos of them in practice clothes instead of costumes. I also thought, good shot, but not for Scott's expression, which would indicate that he's thinking he could drop her, LOL. I guess that it helps show that it's not so easy?
Ice Dancing 101 | W Network Ice Princess, that's an interesting project you've undertaken. I've actually been trying to keep myself from thinking too much about theme/styles of dance, at least when it comes to the free dance. I've been trying to watch the dancing from a more technical point of view rather than an emotional one, since if I'm going to say that VM deserved to win, it better be for more than "I liked it better". After all, the music, costumes, theme, etc shouldn't actually make a difference in whether a program wins or loses... though after CoR and GPF I'm wondering if it's worth my effort, since apparently the judges are using a different scale than I expected. As an audience member, I really, really appreciate that VM have challenged themselves so much over the years with dance styles (which is again, different from theme) and have succeeded in actually portraying those dance styles on ice (not just thematically choosing a style to represent on the ice, and then skating the same basic program as any other). __________________

Thanks Meyers! You always find the best news. Do you think they wrote the answers themselves? I find some of the answers interesting such as other Canadian teams to watch out for. Mentioning Kaitlyn and Andrew was a given, but found it interesting they only mentioned GP next and no other couple. Besides DW, mentioning the Russian couples ahead of PB as other couples they have to watch out for was also interesting.

I just noticed there is a video tab on their page. Are there videos available? I can't see anything since content is geoblocked. |

Oh that makes sense. I was about to say does the writer know something we don't? Like the Russians will pull ahead of PB and GP will get the third spot at nationals? Anyways I was probably over thinking it. The page is geoblocked for me as well. Also I saw on twitter about there being a special on Tessa and Scott today. Does anyone know anything about it?

And yet I didn't even notice the 'video' tab, LOL. But yes, there are three videos there. One is the promo one that is up on YouTube. The other two I'm watching kind of on the fly here and I'll see if I can do a better job explaining later, but i bet by then someone will have ripped it. One is Paul Moir, talking about different skates and how they're sharpened -- I'm getting from my little attention that he sharpens VM's blades? They need new blades about once a year.
The other one is Tessa -- she's been asked questions, and she's answering. Like, three items in her purse are, her passport, lipgloss, and her grandma had a little thing saying "Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly" and now Tessa has that. More later if no one updates before me. __________________

Who's Paul Moir? Is that Scott's uncle?
