Mao News - Off-Season 2012!

The choreographer issue this year is creepy for all of skaters.

I think most of you saw the news that Liza and Artur will use DW, then Yuzuru changed coach to Orser may lead the conclusion that he may also use DW.

The coach changing for P-chan may lead to change of choreographer (Lori) too.

In addition, I saw TAT has some healthy situation.

then earlier rumor about yuzuru will use Pasquale Camerlengo (but this is before the coach changing release so very uncerntain now) and very unreliable rumor that mao will use Morozov.

then Taka's original plan was DW and Zueva. but he said during PIW he may use classic music for FS (maybe still Zueva), and will go offshore during May and July. then most of time Mao and Taka said they don't have any plan.

so everything is very confusing now and all we can do is wait and see@@

Hope this is not true. Anything is better than him.

i alsowould like to see mao work with camerlengo and lori, lori for the sp and camerlengo for the fs that would be a killer combination...

Accept maybe David Wilson

anything but diid wilson he really is too boring.... i am crossing my fingers for camerlengo, and the fact that doesn't hae any specific plans means she is considering other choreographers

I'd prefer Wilson than Morozov, but I wonder if Mao would try Marina Zoueva? She's the one who choreographs for Kozuka (LP), and the V/M, D/W, and S/S in ice dance, right?

I would like Mao to work with Kenji Miyamoto, the one that choreographed Dai's SP Eye and Lisa's free this season.

kenji would also be good choice i really like kenji's choreography...

I agree. I can't imagine Mao in Morozov's posing which judges somehow mistake for choreography and transitions.
My dream team for Mao is Camerlengo, Miyamoto and Tom Dickson. Hopefully she'll choose one of them.

when will mao announce who the choreograhers are going to be

She usually announces her programs in summer, if I'm not mistaken, so I guess we'll find out about her choreographers then. I hope though, that she'll announce it sooner.

I want Camerlengo to choreograph for Mao. Wasn't he quite vocal in saying that Mao is one of the skaters he wanted to do choreography for? That's why I'd like to see what he can do with Mao. What side of Mao he'll be able to show...

Mao said she is looking forward to it and there will be ladies' group number, which will be choreographed by Mai and Yuka Sato (is that a hint for Mao's future??)

Thanks for the news.

I hope Yuka won't be her choreographer at least not for competitive programs, I'm not a fan of Alissa's programs. I'm with roma, I'd like to see what Camerlengo could for Mao, his choreography for Dai's long program was amazing! Hopefully, Mao will get inspired by this and try him out!

if you don't like Alissa's program, I am very sorry to tell you both of her progroms is from Camerlengo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alissa_Czisny Yuka never did anything for her.
Camerlego is very busy and Akko may still go to him again, but it's still possible since Camerlego is located in DSC.
Most of yuka's students are using Camerlengo including Adam and Alissa, and only Jeremy's FS and Haruka's programs are from Yuka.
At least, I think Haruka's SP and Jeremy's FS are very nice. In addition, Taka's take five and romeo were nice too.

Pics from the ice announcement




they also released new cast for the ice including Jeff (of course), Javier (!!!), Mirai, D/W, shibutanis, Alena(!!), Adelina(!!!), Jeremy(!!!!).Mura, Yuruzu.

ETA: make-up artist should be fired due to Narumi's shoes and taka's overall look ...sigh
heels of mao is nice but...is totally weird to wear that in front of super small Narumi and not-so-tall Taka
elf, the princess and the servant.....


then WTH LOL

Oops, I assumed it was Yuka who did the choreo.
I liked jeremy's long program, I wish he'd keep it for another season so he could skate it cleanly and do it justice. I'm surprised that Camerlengo went for the princess program for Alissa and not trying something else, but maybe that's all she's comfortable with...

I'm so happy Javi is performing at The Ice! And D/W , this truly is an amazing cast, to bad Liza wasn't invited...

Mao Mao Mao

At the beginning, a camera man asked them to keep their faces towards cameras.

Mao says there will be a program performed only by girls, which is the first time for the show. Because she usually skates alone, she's looking forward to performing the program together with other girls. She wants to give power to the audience in Nikko where the show will be held for the first time. (The show in Nikko will invite some evacuees of the earthquake/tsunami last year.)

Thank you linglang! Mao looks pretty

Wow!!!Adelina and Alena! It seems they get closer at COR( if you remember I told you about seeing Mao and Alena talking and laughing a lot together)

did javier get invited partly because he's yuzuru's new training mate at toronto's cricket club? and does alena being invited give any additional hint towards morozov being a part of mao's future choreography / coaching team? certainly morozov has helped alena, but there are other choreographers (like tom dickson) whose work intrigued me more than morozov's.

still it's the off-season. it's just good to see mao smiling. and doesn't narumi look adorable with her new hairdo

shikure, that's hilarious, elf, princess and servant... thanks everyone for the mao news and thoughts.

Your logic scares me Because she invited Alena and Adelina, does that mean that instead of Tat and Lori Mao will use Tat and Morozov? That would be my worst nightmare come true

this is what happens when i try to contemplate a mao long program choreographed by morozov. my brain gets scrambled. i'm sorry to have alarmed you with my non-logic

on the bright side, isn't peach a lovely color on mao? ^__^

Narumi looks like a doll, and not in a good way... way too photoshopped. And what the hell, Taka?? No socks and rolled up slacks? Mao looks great in high heels, but... she looks strange when she is taller than Taka.

The ice ppl invited skaters during competition and from IMG.
Alena and Adelina went to Japan for competition this year, maybe that is the major reason. I don't think Javier and yazuru has any connection so far or at least I don't think their connection is good enough to let Javier agree to attend the show.

Tat AND Morozov ?! That would be ridiculously sad . In a way, I will be surprised if Tat works with Mao again this season. With all the problems Tat has going on with her health, and all the drama and loss she's gone through the last couple years, I would think she would want to scale down her work a lot, or ever retire. Plus the RFSA is really wanting Russians to work exclusively with Russians. AND of course, Mao needs to change things up.

It's so weird seeing Mao as the tallest one in the pic! Especially with a guy.
