00:00Hello everyone, we are back, we had a little bit of technical difficulties, sorry about

00:22that.

00:23We are just now coming up to the second skater of our pre-novice pattern dance, our second

00:28pattern dance, which is our Starlight Waltz.

00:58Here comes our next skaters, Odalie and Zilong, for their Starlight Waltz.

01:28Here we go, Odalie, Zilong, Odalie, Zilong, Odalie, Zilong, Odalie, Zilong, Odalie, Zilong,

01:57Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong, Zilong.

02:08Going through their first round of the Starlight Waltz, seeing the difference in the way that

02:11they skated this compared to their Harris Tango, it's going to be a lot flowy, the edges

02:16sloping up and around, getting into the three turns now, keep everything smooth and solid

02:23as they go across the ice.

02:53Good job by Odalie and Zilong on that Starlight Waltz, just seeing the depth of edge that

03:08they had going all the way across, really getting into their knees, using their height

03:13to their advantage as they push down into the corners.

03:16Super important when it comes to this Starlight Waltz, judges really want to see them take

03:20it down into the corners.

03:22Don't shrink this dance, push out the dance, use it all the way through, all the way down

03:27to the boards on each end of the corner.

03:41The score for Odalie and Zilong for the Starlight Waltz, 26.41.

03:49With a total score of 25.96, Odalie and Zilong are currently in first place.

03:59The next competitors represent Skate Canada Brampton Jacuzzi.

04:03Please welcome Emily Chin and Nathan Chin.

04:08Here comes Emily and Nathan Chin again for their Starlight Waltz.

04:13Starlight Waltz.

04:44Starlight Waltz.

05:01Good job in the second part of this dance, getting into their knees on the crosses, pushing

05:06the dance out, really good job in this waltz.

05:09Again, as I said before, pushing the dance out, making sure that you get it over to that

05:13side.

05:31A little bit of a stumble there going into the first set of the three turns, but they

05:35were able to get navigated pretty well.

05:38Getting into their edges, again, just as they had on their first pattern, down deep into

05:43their edges.

05:44Showcasing deep edge work as they go across, looking together and looking towards the judges.

05:50Emily Chin and Nathan Chin.

06:12Good job from Emily and Nathan on that one, really setting up in their first part of the

06:17dance the edges, the deep edge work on their chasse, taking it up, up to the middle, down

06:23to the boards, really what you want to see.

06:25You don't want to let any of these edges go flat, you want to make sure that you're really

06:29curving it like a long S, back and forth across the ice when it comes to those longer edges.

06:36Really getting that is the best way to get the most points.

06:47The score for Emily Chin and Nathan Chin for the Starlight Waltz, 23.16.

07:07With a total score of 22.94, Emily and Nathan are currently in second place.

07:17The next pair of skaters represent Skate Canada Brampton-Chincoosy.

07:22Please welcome Piper Crawford and Mouaz Zeshan.

07:27Here comes our second team from Skate Canada Brampton-Chincoosy, Piper and Mouaz for their

07:33Starlight Waltz.

07:48Similar to what we had with the Harris Tangos, each team using different types of music.

08:05Again, all loud, just want to make sure you're still feeling the different piece of music.

08:11Even though it has the same beat, you want to make sure you're still skating to it.

08:15Each team doing a good job of that as they get into their second half of their dance.

08:45Good job by this team on the position change, making sure that they have that strong form

09:03going through you.

09:04Don't want to lose that strong position even when you're switching forwards to backwards

09:08across.

09:16Good job by Piper and Mouaz on that dance, really pushing it down towards the ends as

09:41all of these teams really have done a good job of pushing it down towards the ends using

09:46the ice.

09:47No matter the size of the team, they're all doing a very good job of getting pretty solid

09:51ice usage out of it, which coaches are definitely happy with.

09:54Obviously, there's different segments they want to make sure that they're working together

09:57on, really maintaining their focus.

10:10Here comes our final skaters of the Pre-Novice Pattern Dance event, Stella and Elliot.

10:40Let's go.

11:11Good job in the corner of this team, that leg extension on that back right outside edge.

11:21Good job of them matching it as they lift it high into the air.

11:24Could be a key benefit for taller teams is having that super high leg extension to really

11:29showcase to judges that you have that straight leg as we move now to their second round.

11:40Good job.

12:10That was Stella and Elliot with their Starlight Waltz.

12:35Good job by them using down to the whole ice, as I said in the dance, really showcasing

12:41the extension that comes with being a taller team and using it to their advantage as we

12:45wait now for their results.

12:48This score for Stella Ferris and Elliot Ricksteiner for the Starlight Waltz, 26.69.

13:10With a total score of 25.85, Stella and Elliot are currently in second place.

13:18This completes the Pre-Novice Dance Pattern Dance event.

13:22The current unofficial standings in third place from Skate Canada Branson Jacuzzi, Emily

13:28Chin and Nathan Chin.

13:31In second place from the Starboard Figure Skating Club, Stella Ferris and Elliot Ricksteiner.

13:39And that concludes our Pre-Novice Pattern Dance category here at the July Sectional

13:53Series event.
