Light Entertainment Part 2
I found the description of "Light Entertainment" on the USFSA website. I thought I would post it here for those of you who may say I'm just being a grouch. No grouch here, just a person who watch over a half dozen of short programs that had nothing to do with "light entertainment".
1. Dramatic Entertainment: Programs should express intense emotional connection and
investment in the music, choreography and theme concept through related skating
movements, gestures and physical actions. Props and Scenery ARE permitted.
2. Light Entertainment: Programs should express a carefree concept or storyline designed
to uplift and entertain the audience through related skating movements, gestures and
physical actions. Props and Scenery ARE permitted.
I can only hope that in the future, coaches, judges, skaters, parents and anyone else who organizes showcase competitions will read what a showcase program is supposed to represent.
Also, in showcase competitions, try not to gross out, insult, or make fun of the judges, especially to their faces. That is a story for another post... maybe.
