I find the Karabeys placement VERY surprising actually, not only because they're my favorite am couple but because I cannot believe Paolo and Sylvia and the Boyces beat them (don't know the German couple so can't speak about them), especially in England where their style should still be pretty favored... I don't know, I am disappointed and I am sure they are very disappointed.
I'm surprised about the am standard too! The Karabeys generally place right behind Arunas and Edita and I think have even beaten them once before. Then again last year people were surprised when Paolo and Sylvia fell in the placings. The German couple has been doing very well lately. Ah well- here's results for exhibition Results Professional Exibition 1 Victor da Silva & Hanna Karttunnen (South Africa) 2 Greg Lindner & Alla Profatilova (Canada) 3 Eric Luna & Georgia Ambarian (USA) 4 Remco Bastiaansen & Charissa Van Dipte (The Netherlands) 5 David Savoy & ? (USA) 6 Martin Pisna & Renata Gregor (Czech Republic) 7 Vladimir Shchepletsov & Irina Shchepletsova (Russia)
Let's get to the important stuff, the costumes! Jools, tell us what are people wearing? We want color commentary.
i guess i should search back for the "pro ladies' costuming" item and start porting my venom over there.
now I haven't gone through all of the costumes yet, but I think this is pretty bad- both roman and giselle go on my worst dressed list http://dancesportinfo.net/DisplayGallery.aspx?coupleId=39536
Well, Giselle does live up to her name... I've looked at some standard Am pics and didn't really like much of what I saw...
Oh look -- ballroom meets the circus! http://dancesportinfo.net/Pictures/Gallery/BallroomRhythms/17_6046_2312_11668__C019310.jpg
I think that's the first time I've ever seen the man flash his midriff (referring to Roman) Well may be we should call the circus and let them know they lost her
