he has the ability to channel the music fully because he has the patience to let the notes ring, the control to convey that through a held edge, and the poise to move his arms in the way the melody lilts
he makes deceleration and acceleration look so easy in frostline and the music really gives him an opportunity to show that skill off. he has all of the tools to fully embody the music he’s given, to be one with it
frostline truly is a program dedicated to yuma’s basic ss skills + control it’s beautiful… the push on one foot that sustained the running edge of the 3lo, the inside edge in the vid attached, the variety of speed and ease of deceleration, and his glide is as buttery as ever
i hope yuma will go back to carolina for choreo in the future even if hes not being directly coached by her anymore bc she really does know his strengths
id love to see her revisit this partially bc think she consistently got more speed on the spiral during this past season than she did during the worlds 25 performance of it
