Well she just posted in instagram story and the phrases "I guess that's why they call it the blues" and "I'm still standing" are in the messages by them so you might win the guessing game

Hmmmmm. Maybe not JUST the blues after all.

Haha if this is true, do I win a prize for guessing Elton, without any hints other than feathers? And if they do go Elton, PLEASE let Paul go full Elton with the costume! (Also, please let them go Elton and not Taron Edgerton. No matter that Taron was brilliant in Rocketman, I prefer when people use the original)

Well all I got from Paul when I guess their Vincent FD was a so probably no prize. But you will have impressed me

Piper & Paul started working on their RD today with Jeff Dimitrou.

Well the colour made me think of a peacock, so I googled songs about peacocks, and the Katy Perry song that came up... well, I don't think that'll be used.

Then I googled songs with the colour teal, and came up with the Teal Album by Weezer, which consists of cover songs, mainly from the 80s.

Then I googled turquoise, and the top result was a song by Donovan.

So basically, I have no idea, but I know they'll be unique and creative in their choice.

Blues for Klook?

FWIW, Piper liked a fan's tweet yesterday that said they "are the perfect team to pull off an Elton John RD. And for the Olympics???"

Oh, you know he will. Paul never does anything by halves!

 

[The Accordion]

Oh, you know he will. Paul never does anything by halves!

I am unreasonably excited that this might happen!

 

[Colonel Green]

Natalie & Bruce’s latest Instagram Q&A reconfirmed that they’re keeping their Swan Lake FD for next season. They described the RD as “our favourite concept ever” with an accompanying partial image of Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

From what Emmy just posted on her Instagram, it looks like Emmy and Aissa might be doing a Star Wars FD next season??

I'm not very good at reading French, but as best I can make out, IAM has taken on Sandrine Gauthier/Quentin Thieren, the 2020 Canadian novice champions. (See stories.) I don't know who was coaching them before.

G/T's coaches as listed in their 2020-21 Team NextGen profile: Julien Lalonde, Mylene Girard

The Scarboro Figure Skating Club is proud to be home to Ice Dance Elite and 2021 World Bronze dance medallists and Canadian champions Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier. Come join us on Saturday, May 15 at 10:00am ET on the Scarboro FSC and Pj Kwong Facebook pages and on @SkatingPj Twitter channel to hear all about Worlds from the skaters and their coaches Carol Lane and Juris Razgulaevs. It's time to bring your questions AND your congratulations!

On their IDE website page, Molly Lanaghan/Dmitre Razgulajevs' update at the end says:

This upcoming season we are once again trying to push our boundaries as athletes and dancers by skating new genres. Carol suggested Spice Girls and we instantly loved the idea and have been having so much fun with it since. Be sure to look out for us this year to see our Spice Girls RD and Tango FD

What a cool Lululemon commercial Gilles and Poirier are in. I just saw it on the CBC coverage. I hope they got paid some decent money for this.
