NESET / MARKELOV (USA) | Ice Dance Free Dance | Grand Prix de France 2024 |

Wow ! This pair of ice dancers is very promising. They have speed, a lot of flexibility, musicality in their bodies, lots of elegance in their dance steps, and with a good execution of this choreography, they prove to be artistically very talented. It looks like they were underrated.

Gorgeous couple, gorgeous skating, clearly underscored.

[@elenashapiro7662]

Their transitions in and out of lifts are really exciting!! I hope they can get a bit tighter on their choreo but I can’t wait to see more of them! I haven’t been this excited about an ice dance team since Tessa and Scott!

[@lizabethfeig1705]

Totally amazing...and totally underscored...

[@lisabest-thigpen5759]

Outstanding!

[@melodybrown1520]

I thought they was fantastic and on point with all lifts and everything else, they was underscored!!

[@KieraSWilliams]

Incredible!

[@zoyakhrystova1269]

So beautiful!

[@allapol1]

Gorgeous skaters, beautifully matched. Will only get better in time. Wonderful skating skills and complex choreo, not easy to execute at the speed and intensity they skate with. The skate wasn’t perfect but deserved a higher score.

[@vickilindberg6336]

Excellent! A great future. Wonderful commentary.

[@joanfoley6148]

I love this couple. They are very young but beautifully matched and I can see them mature with time climbing the USA ladder as couples ahead of them retire The future of USA dance and could use a coach with political pull.

Done with the two gp assignments!! Before fully preparing for the nationals, I hope you two can spend some own time, take some rest first~❤

[@shawnaweesner3759]

They have some flow problems; meaning, they do a section of moves, and then there’s a bit of time with nothing for regrouping. You can actually see the couple’s minds getting ready for the next section of moves.

[@CloverWong-u6n]

To be honest, they don't really have the star looks or some strong appearances that may catch your eyes immediately, but I don't know, among the young ice dance teams, I just love them the most? I just find them special and connect to them? Does anyone feel the same way?

[@indirose8725]

Their performance quality is absolutely captivating. I love them also!

Bonjour ou regarder les autres couples ?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

First of all, I really appreciate the effort of shooting in France. There are many unique shots, but many times the zoom is toooo close! They were indeed more powerful during skam, but seemed a bit tired here. I agree with what people said, it feels like Artem could be a little more gentle with his partnering. (RD also feels a bit too hard) When doing the lifting, every time Leah's knee hits the ice, I get in my nerves.. Although you are still young, but I worried this will lead to some injuries in the long run. But, I really feel it’s so excessive for other forums to constantly overinterpret the dancer’s behaviors. Fortunately, the atmosphere in the comment area here is still relatively supportive.

[@luigiaredaelli1598]

❤❤❤bravissimi

[@loristephens3016]

They remind me of Meryl and Charlie.

[@lisabramwell7800]

They are much better. They actually dance.

[@cinven38]

The decals on the ice really detract from being able to fully enjoy the lines and movements of the skaters

[@ingai7014]

Love em ❤!more then any other couple -they skate like one 👌

[@guillaumedupont7565]

MOG PLEASE !!!..SORRY BUT NO IMAGINATION!!...Because at 1.23 a ridiculous ugly and acrobatic figure skating lift copied and stolen from a young couple of Russian dancers with the same horrible exit on the knee...Same very ugly exit on the knee for the last lift which is the same as the previous one but horizontal instead of vertical...If that is dance it is appalling!!......

[@janetwatkinson745]

I agree Ice dancing is not what it was.All this acrobatic lifts sliding around on the ice legs on barriers cartwheels flinging themselves on ice eg Gillis Poirier RD last year😮

[@guillaumedupont7565]

@@janetwatkinson745 Well, the sliding elements are imposed if they are not always aesthetic, some are more successful, some couples do very well and if it enriches the choreography and allows to decide the best why not ... But these increasingly ugly acrobatic circus lifts that we see since Zueva Spielband imposed them with V/M and D/W have brought ice dancing to a dead end ... A bit like we were waiting for this as the highlight of the show!! Ok for figure skating but for ice dancing..... It's grotesque!! These stupid lifts appear in the middle of the choreography like a hair in the soup and break the aesthetics, especially since many do them too forcefully.
