World challenge cup Anatalya- 29th to 31st March 2024 (NOT OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION)

There's much ado on twitter about Melanie's new floor.

I'm sorry I don't like that at all its soooooo boring. The music is dire and the choreo is all arm waving. I'd take a background music deduction on that because it's like lift music.

Sooooooo boring! No actually dance what so ever. What were they thinking?

Truely horrible for an Olympic routine.

I understand the motivation to have her make a variety of body shapes a la Gadirova, but she isn't moving across the floor at all while she does it. I hope they can rethink this one.

re: Gadirova
Thought hers was boring also; horrid.

Loving Jade's routine. Not huge on Brittany Spears but it's so much better than the redundant mood pieces.

I think the artistry rules have created some odd trends. You can check off so many of the boxes just by looking like you're having some kind of personal episode.

Melanie spends a lot of time in the corners, maybe she could move her wolf turn and ending pose out of the corners to cover the floor more.

I agree, she spends the entire time standing in one place and flailing around. There is not a single piece of choreography that actually moves to a different location. It reminds me of Beth Tweddle's floor, or when Hallie Mossett started choreographing.
