Sorry, but with your posts you are just proving over and over again what zilam98 and princeton123 said. Some of Virtue/Mor fans may be overly sensitive, but it's not like you are without fault. You have been doing everything in your power to provoke them.^^ @Dobre is a lover of ice dance as well as a thoughtful and insightful poster. What has that got to do with your screeching?
Wowza! V/M righteous indignation in full-on display, along with gleeful tarring and feathering of anyone who dares to voice disagreement of an outcome or any perceived less than fawning critiques of V/M. Boy you guys will defend this Helsinki result till hell freezes over and then some. Like I said, I stand by my opening post.
But yep, go right ahead and carry on with your relentless ire. It's fascinating in all it's time-wasting, chakra-busting intensity, pettiness and OTT exaggerations.
A rhumba is a rhumba... there is no upbeat rhumba it is sultry not the lambada.
For the season 2017/18, the following Rhythms were selected. Senior and Junior Any number of following Latin American Rhythms: Cha Cha, Rhumba, Samba, Mambo, Meringue, Salsa, Bachata and any closely related Latin American or Caribbean Rhythms.You're right but Rhumba Set Pattern alone is anything but sultry, it's fast & upbeat.

The ISU leaves it pretty open.
I agree with you. The Rhumba pattern is not sultry at all (most of the time, it is smiley and fun ) compared to the ballroom definition and execution of a Rhumba.I know but I just meant that specific Rhumba pattern looks like this. Obviously it's possible to make the rest of the dance into actual Rhumba rhythms and dip up from Rhumba ballroom dance but here you have ''Rhumba'' CD from Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrice Lauzon. They have to include that pattern into their SD next season.

Is there a non touching step sequence in next season SD ? There was during the 2011/2012 season.
Yes. All the requirements are discussed in this thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/in...cal-requirements-2017-18.100812/#post-5026881
ETA: I've heard the SD is changing name to the Rhythm Dance, but I'm not sure if there are going to be more changes wrt content. It wouldn't be unprecedented, the ISU had published the requirements for the OD for 2010-11 before changing tack and inventing the Short Dance, & skaters didn't get full confirmation of the requirements until June after the ISU Congress.
Chock & Bates just announced they are dancing to La La Land for the FD.
How many teams do you think will also be dancing to La La Land?
So many. #notshiningjustforme
I'm not sure that's well suited to them; their personalities seem better suited to pop-rock programs.
I have a feeling all the La La Land peeps will be announcing early in the hopes it'll stave off competition. I don't know if Madison Chock has the soul for the music, but I do think out of all the dance teams, C/B have the ability to really dance to it. I do think Piper/Paul and Tessa/Scott could really dance to it too.
Yeah, I was thinking the reason they announced so quickly was the hopes of discouraging other teams... but at the same time there was a lot of Feeling Good this season.

It's too obvious music/theme for V/M to pick. Also an obvious pick for C/L. I know Gabi made a tweet a not so long ago that she had that music stuck in her head (think she had just seen movie).
I know, it's why I said it was an obvious pick for C/L.
