Non touching step sequence is back! And ladies may wear trousers for the SD!
Senior SD:
-One (1) Section of Midnight Blues (Man & Lady) comprised of Steps #5-14 [So no longer the full dance]
- One (1) Partial Step Sequence in Hold:
The Tempo of the music throughout the Pattern Dance Element must be constant and in accordance with the required Tempo and character of the Pattern Dance: Midnight Blues, i.e. 22 measures of 4 beats or 88 beats per minute, plus or minus 2 beats per minute.
-One short dance lift
-One set of sequential twizzles
-One (1) Not Touching Midline, Diagonal or Circular Step Sequence skated to a different rhythm than the Blues,
The Not Touching Step Sequence must be skated on one of the other rhythms: either Swing or Hip Hop.
Junior SD:
- Two (2) Sequences of Blues, either skated one after the other or separately. Step #1 of each Sequence must be skated on a different side of the ice surface.
The Tempo of the music throughout the Pattern Dance Element must be constant and in accordance with the required Tempo and character of the Pattern Dance: Blues, i.e. 22 measures of 4 beats or 88 beats per minute, plus or minus 2 beats per minute.

The Not Touching Step Sequence must be skated on one of the other rhythms: either Swing or Hip Hop.
-One short dance lift
-One set of sequential twizzles
Other changes:
After the clock is started with the first movement, the Couple must not remain in one place for more than 10 seconds. During the program, either up to two full stops (duration must not exceed 5 seconds each) or up to one full stop (duration must not exceed 10 seconds) are permitted. Any choreography appropriate to the music selection (including a separation of no more than two arms length apart) is permitted.
For season 2016/17, if the Hip Hop is chosen by a couple as one of the rhythms for the Junior Short Dance the following exception to Rule 709 paragraph1.j) will apply:
Touching the ice with the hand(s) is permitted while skating to this rhythm; (pending decision of the 2016 ISU Congress) Note: Touching the ice with the hand(s) is allowed if choreographed to enhance the character of the Hip-Hop and does not meet the definition of the fall. [Not sure why this is only there for juniors? Is it a mistake due to a hangover from the last time juniors were allowed hip hop in the SD?]
FD: The only difference I can see is that seniors are now required to do two different choreographic elements instead of one, choosing from lift, spinning movement & twizzling movement

I love the non-touching step sequence.
over one teams pattern being chosen over others would probably be too much of a bother.
