    Glad it's not the tango! Glad they chose this challenging pattern for the Olympic season.

    You can always use a 4/4 Waltz music and pretend it's a Foxtrot

    I look foward to seeing this. Although hopefully we will get to see some good choices of music. I think skaters have started heading a bit more out of the box in their selections this season. Also I don't mind having both Senior and Junior doing the same themes.

    Let's see how many couples do the choctaw in the quickstep correctly.
    What the hell is a Ninja Twizzle? Does it have anything to do with hard shelled aquatic life forms that live in the sewer?

    Is it shallow to think about all the "interesting" costumes that we'll see?

    One Not Touching Midline Step Sequence or Not Touching Diagonal Step Sequence or Not Touching Circular Step Sequence

    Is that completely new? Obviously I've seen both of the other choices, but I don't recall diagonal being an option before.

    No, no, no. Unless they totally change the tempo. But never fear, I'm sure there'll be some awesome horrible earworms that will dominate.

    Americans, Brits, French, Russians, I don't care; that would be really fun.
    BARK LESS. WAG MORE.
