2016 US Championships: Dance Preview
This Senior Dance event has had me on the edge of my seat for months following the Grand Prix Final. That being said, I have so many question:
- First and foremost, who will have the most garish costumes and music?
- Will the judging be fair?
- Will any of the placements have fans in an uproar?
- Which free skate will make cry? (eh hem, Shibutanis)
- Will there be any significant movements from the Short to the Free?
- Will Chock & Bates be given an unfair bump by the judges because they are International favorites?
- Which coach will wear the biggest scarf?
- Will Marina combust if her Shibutanis lose, yet again, to former students Chock & Bates?
- Will Hubbell and Donohue even be in the gold medal conversation or will there be, as in the past, a clear drop off between 2nd and 3rd?
- Can Hawayek & Baker step up and challenge for 3rd or will they just fall by the wayside as yet another great junior team?
- Does Alexandra Aldridge re-enter the conversation with her new pair-turned-dance partner Matthew Blackmer?
- Will anyone else impress us?
- What will be trending among skating tweeters after this event? (you know we won’t all be happy)
- And most importantly, will Ann Jensen and I get our artistry and unicorns?
