Enus Mariani – Floor

February 18th, 2013 | dance, floor (women), Gymnastics

WOW.

This should be the 2016 Code baseline. Anyone less Artistic than Enus, gets deducted.

Click PLAY or watch her on YouTube.

Triple Twist: Do you have any idols? If so, who are they and why do they inspire you?

Enus: I don’t have a real idol. … I like American gymnasts because of their power and control, and Russians because of their elegance. Being able to mix these things would be awesome. …

Nice, but I’d like to see how it changes when she goes for full difficulty before making any generalizations. It looks like she isn’t even going for all of her planned “dance” elements, ignoring the tumbling for the moment. Those crazy “dance” elements can ruin the performance quality and overall impression big-time.

She has a nice presence about her and good body isolation, however most of the time her dance does not fit the music all that well.

Would people enjoy the artitsty of Zou Kai and Steve Legendre on FX if they rolled around on the floor, flailed their arms around, and stuck their butts out?

Well, I sure would!

Actually, I did not like the performance aspect of that routine at all.

Her stock with me went down with those leaps. It gets repetitive, for me.

I wasn’t particularly impressed with this routine. The choreography really didn’t match the music. It certainly is more artistic than most routines these days but, then again, the bar is set pretty low.

Sure, use it as a “baseline” because the effort is there but definitely don’t use it as the “gold standard.”

Didn’t match the music? Really?

I for one love the theatrical aspect of that routine. Artistic gymnastics would really artistic if floor routines had to be theatrical, or show theme to music… like they should but hardly ever do
