Free dance music ideas for Zagorski/Guerreiro?

[caseyedwards]

They must look at the programs of dubreuil and while not copying exactly do something very similar.

The last thing the program should have is the audience tapping their feet! That’a not rewarded and ignores what’s successful now.

 

[alchemy void]

Call me crazy, but I think Mermaid of Salinas by Basement Jaxx could be a fun, voidy awesome FD that Tiff and Jon could pull off.

 

[Tinami Amori]

Uplifting and Uptempo

• Builds or Changes tempo, forming a coherent whole
• With Character and Memorable
• Crowd/Judge Pleasing
• Gets the Audience Tapping their Feet
• A Style or Characters that Both Tiff and Jon could Play Well

"Everything Illuminated" - has it all, fast, slow, feet tapping pieces, "ethnic elements" and yet can be VERY abstract in places, like the movie. Tiff can use any style of hair, colors, costume ideas.. The sound track has many styles of music, walz rhythms, mazurkas, e.european folk, foxtrotts, voice, no voice, etc..

I would like to see a Hamilton skating program...

But I would love to see them do some sort of Rock'n Roll FD. Maybe David Bowie or Queen like others have suggested. I would be super excited to see a Heart program. I think they could pull that off well, as Zagorski seems spunky.

 

[Twilight1]

Just a couple I thought of that I could see being skated to that are upbeat.

Good luck to them next season!!

Journey- "Don't Stop Believin"

Ed Sheeran- "Castle On the Hill"
https://youtu.be/K0ibBPhiaG0

Portugal- "Feel It Still"
https://youtu.be/pBkHHoOIIn8

Imagine Dragons- "Believer"

Mark Ronson- "Uptown Funk"

I’d like Tiffany to play some kind of Kiesza on ice

[Spun Silver]

I think I may have suggested it before, but I always think of Franck's violin sonata for them because of its long sinuous, at times wild musical lines. It's an amazing piece of music, innovative, modern and romantic at the same time. It would not fit the toe-tapping criterion but could fit some you didn't include: mesmerizing and intimate. There are lots of tempi, rhythms and melodies to choose from. I think it would stand out in the sea of contemporary music that will probably be used, and could not possibly be considered trite.

I know this is far fetched.... but i always thought this piece from "Aristocats" is a complete FD, with 4 tempo changes, costume possibilities, and suites a young fun loving team who does not mind a bit of comedy and sass..

[Elisheba]

I think they should do a Pulp Fiction FD using Samuel L Jackson voiceovers.

 

[skatefan]

Shostakovich by Rieu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vauo4o-ExoY and a little bit of Mambo No 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qe7n9PkCvE well, the music certainly got the audiences going!

 

[DimaToe]

I love to see Zagorski channel her inner pop diva and see them skate to a Madonna medley, it’s not like aside from Evita her music is overused in skating.

 

[shah]

Yes! Urge Overkill and a little bit of "Misirlou" would make a perfect combo - I am sure the latter would make everyone clap and tap their feet .

Btw, why not an 80s synthpop free? Imagine the possibilities for costumes . For instance, any mix of Human League (e.g., a dub mix of "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of"), Yazoo, early Depeche Mode and Gary Numan . Or go even wilder, using SAW (Stock Aiken Waterman) as a source of inspiration (Bananarama free dance, with a prominent "Venus" part ).

[pat c]

Murder on the Orient Express, not the recent one, the music from 1974. Waltzy.......

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myc3A4spmJQ

Also, quirky and upbeat by Dave Grusin, it won an academy award for best score and it's never been used, the Milagro Beanfield War:

[Frau Muller]

Give ‘me what they want, in the highest possible quality:

Come and meet
Those dancing feet,
On the avenue I’m taking you to:
Forty-second Street.

Listen to the ca-1980 Broadway version. Gorgeous arrangement. BEST version stars the glorious voice of Wanda Richert...go to the 1:22 mark for the main theme:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLNXSK9RU25shHCdIFygA8wsKelpwa3w50&v=S_SeoB8Jz_w

Here’s a rare film of that 1980 Bway version, but with another actress (voice not like Wanda’s). Go to 2-minute mark for the start of the main theme.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lFlDLWfL7uI

I can picture Tiffany in this 1930s hairdo...flaming red, of course!

 

[altai_rose]

Not upbeat, but it's beautiful, dramatic music that builds, and would be great for a team with both drama and long lines like Z/G.

Elgar Cello Concerto - du Pre and Barenboim

 

[glorybox64]

I’d love to see a free dance to a medley from Beyoncé’s self-titled album from 2014: I’m picturing Drunk in Love to start, Superpower or No Angel in the middle, Blow to end.

It’s still on the more lyrical edge of things (and could also work as a gala program) but Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Runaway” has a really nice modern rock edge to it. https://youtu.be/-QqArc12juQ

Having watched a few of the old movies based on Agatha Christie's stories recently, I couldn't help but notice that "Death on the Nile" also has a wonderful soundtrack by Nino Rota. Moreover, one of the protagonists is a redhead (played by Mia Farrow).

I love to see Zagorski channel her inner pop diva and see them skate to a Madonna medley, it’s not like aside from Evita her music is overused in skating.

Seconding this too! Specifically Confessions on a Dance Floor (starting with Hung Up) has never been used and I could see them pulling this off well.

 

[DimaToe]

I was also thinking that “4 Minutes” would be a good song to include, plus it perfectly pokes fun at that they literally only have 4 minutes

 

[topaz]

I'd love to see a Free Dance to David Bowie music... Let's Dance, Golden Years, Heroes,...

I love this idea and I have been waiting for someone to skate to bowie too(outside of Chock/Bates).

So many good Bowie songs they could us, ie. The Man Who Sold The World and Velvet Goldmine

Last one: Chocolate (film)

And few interesting faster pieces with beat (in add. to plenty of softer pcs in the soundtrack for fill ins)

[my little pony]

if they choose bowie and if tiffany does her makeup like the Aladdin Sane album cover, i will fly to every comp holding a sign and crying

 

[DimaToe]

@taz'smum on a different note I’m very glad to see that Tiffany and Jonathan’s success this Olympic season has given them more ambition than satisfaction. Given that both have been around for quite a while (Jonathan with Riazanova and Tiffany with Miart) they could have both called it a career after going to Euros, Olympics and Worlds, but I’m very happy to see that they have decided to continue, she has such an “it” factor to her skating that it will be such a treat to see them continue to compete and see how much they can continue to achieve with what seems to be their ideal coaching team.

 

[topaz]

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days Are Over, Shake It Off, What Kind Of Man.

Fun, modern and uptempo with Flo Rida - Good Feeling (can be edited really well); Demi Lovato - Confident

 

[alchemy void]

I’m all in on the Madonna medley!

More importantly, it would put Zagorski on the fast track to win FSU’s coveted gay icon award!

 

[Aerobicidal]

My idea: An ‘80s themed program with totally tubular new wave costumes. A simple but proven theme: young couple runs away together and finds 1908s romance, like in the movie Valley Girl.

Music: Start with the other red headed Tiffany, and her greatest song “I Think We’re Alone Now.” (Yes, it’s a cover, but I don’t care.) And then use “I Melt with You,” maybe with a slower song in-between.

A similar program to the actual soundtrack of Valley Girl would also be rad IMO.

ETA Just realized my idea is similar to Shah’s. I support his idea as well.

 

[RoseRed]

Commenting on other people's suggestions:

I think Sia could work. I'm not sure which would work best together/for skating, but I like The Greatest, Cheap Thrills, Chandelier, Elastic Heart.

I love Bittersweet Symphony and I could see them doing it, but it's not really uptempo or uplifting. The version the did on the TV show Riverdale is pretty, but the original is maybe a bit more uptempo, so maybe that could work.

I don't know if I see Believer (Imagine Dragons) for them -maybe, not sure. But it's a great song and I think it works for skating. And it can be mashed up with another Imagine Dragons song for the tempo change. I like Radioactive and Thunder.

No idea if There's Nothing Holding Me Back (Shawn Mendes) would work for skating, but I love the song and could see it for them. I really like Hideaway (Kiesza) for them as well.

I like the idea of 42nd Street, but that also sounds like something that could work for the Rhythm Dance in 2019-20.

My ideas:

Maybe Start a Fire by John Legend. Demi Lovato's Lionheart or Neon Lights.

 

[Twilight1]

Has anyone skated to The Shape of Water?

I like these 2...

I vote Hideaway by Keisza as well

I want to see a couple skate to this - Awoo by Sofi Tukker
