Any thoughts on the 6 teams we've seen? :) From me:
Paradise - really nice surprise there, I'm glad they ditched classical warhorses for once and I genuinely enjoyed the program!
Rockettes - solid program, nothing to add here
Dream Edges - interesting concept, felt a bit like I stepped into a time machine :D not sure about the ending 'pose', though
Lumineers - shame about the falls, Danse Macabre is a piece I love
Unique - one of my favourite teams ever but this program fell flat a bit for me? Veeery nice moves element/spirals though <3
Marigold - I just.. don't dig the program unfortunately :( They started out nicely but later on started to look kind of messy
I love team Paradise' skating skills, they're always wonderful to watch and now they also actually skate to fun music! I'd say it's a well deserved 1st place in this small event :))
I've been watching videos with 2 or more people at rinks mostly, skating next to each other or linked arms, skating in sync, same foot movement, knee movements, etc. What's that called? Is it like line dancing, where you learn specific moves and everyone knows that particular dance? Where do I learn this stuff? I'm so sorry, I hope I'm saying it right, I'm old, not hip to the lingo anymore 👉👉 pwew pwew
Because they're way too underrated. Tell me why you love synchro as a spectator and if you're on a team - why you love skating in a team :) sharing favourite programs is encouraged :DD
Here's some of mine:

While this is no where close to me, the venue was very convenient for attending the event. Vegas is an easy place to fly to and there’s lots of things to do, so hopefully the location would help with attendance numbers.
Team Nexxice from Canada came up with the idea of having a virtual worlds. All teams that were going to participate can send there favourite short and free skate from this season and it's all going to be posted on this Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQo2TvsfiO80mn4_EhRbtWg. Enjoy!
Just to be clear: it's definitely not my first competition. I've been skating for almost 10 years, of which I've been doing synchronized skating for 5 years. So I've had a lot of competitions and I always go there with pleasure.
Since the last competition, in December, I started to put a lot of pressure on myself. I was not satisfied with my performance and wanted to change that. The problem is that this has now progressed so far, that my coach has noticed in the way I skate that I don't feel good. I skate worse because my posture is completely stiffened.
Now Saturday is the next competition. I can't sleep for days, feel my heart beating all the time and I'm not hungry. The pressure I put on myself makes me do the opposite of what I want to achieve, it makes me skate worse.
What can I do about it? As long as I don't improve, the pressure I put on myself won't go away. I feel like I'm just stuck. As of next week I will start ice dancing and go to an extra technique class, so hopefully that will help me a bit.
Any ideas to reduce my stress before the competition on Saturday and during practice? I really need it...
Is synchronized skating held to the same standard as singles or pairs?
I'm not a vegas resident, but I am a figure skater, and I'm surprised that both of these events are being held in Vegas as its not a traditional figure skating market. I know hockey is big in the city, but is figure skating also popular?
Also, how good are the learn-to-skate programs in Vegas? Has anyone tried or know anyone who's tried them before? And is there any chance there's a synchro team in Vegas? If there is, that would be super awesome.
