2023-2024 Rhythm dance

[overedge]

Falco only if it's Der Kommisar.

 

[screech]

I think the question I have is about the time frame: For instance "Groove is in the Heart" was released in 1990. So that is out??

To me, 90s style music didn't really start until at least 1991. I listen to the 90s station on SiriusXM a lot, and when I hear songs from 1990 I'm usually surprised they're on that station.
Also, Worlds are in Canada, and per Robin Scherbatsky, "the 80s didn't come to Canada til' like 93."

 

[skategal]

Y'all realize that in 8 months (or less) we are going to thoroughly hate this RD theme, right?

NEVER!!

 

[Wyliefan]

All these hopes and dreams, and we're probably going to end up with half Madonna and half Michael Jackson.

 

[Coco]

Hopefully with a side of Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode and the Cure

Heh. I was absolutely doing the Pat Benetar mega eyeliner and black leather headband thing in the mid-80’s.
It was the 90’s I skipped altogether…..

Dave Lease reported on TSL that a junior team at his rink is doing a Footloose RD.

Yes to Depeche Mode! It's ages that I want any team to skate to their music and next season's RD theme will be my best shot.

If there is no Tears for Fears I will cry

Fine for juniors but I want more creativity, seniors!

I mentioned a Fast Times at Ridgemont High program earlier and yesterday in the grocery store “Somebody’s Baby” was playing and I was singing along. Make it happen someone.

 

[Karen-W]

Lol. I need at least one Footlooose and one Dirty Dancing RD from the senior teams!

 

[quartz]

I’m very, very afraid we will get far too many (more than 1 ) Walk Like an Egyptian.

I’m very, very afraid we will get far too many (more than 1 ) Walk Like an Egyptian.

And a few Top Gun inspired RDs too, I'm guessing.

 

[shah]

Hopefully, the original versions, not the Postmodern Jukebox or 2Wei covers!

TRUTH. Just like allowing vocal music was going to open up a wider range of music choices, but instead what happened is skaters just used POTO songs with the vocals

And in the same program.

Oh, I don't know, the pearl-clutching crowd doesn't listen too closely to the lyrics of "Greased Lightning"

Remember when people were practically fainting because Tara Lipinski did a pro/exhibition program to Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" and that was soooooo inappropriate for a young teenager?? How times have changed - or have they....

 

[Parsley Sage]

This would be amazing if it happened! I'm hoping that as Montrealers La/La and FB/S will skate to some Montreal/Quebec music from the 80s - Mitsou, Marjo, Corey Hart, Leonard Cohen, Rock Voisine, Gino Vanelli, Men Without Hats, Celine Dion (preferably one of her better French songs), etc.

Mitsou's Bye Bye Mon Cowboy!
Luba's Innocent with an Explanation
The Box - L'Affaire Dumoutier

Canadian but not from Montreal

Martha and the Muffins - Black Stations White Stations
Parachute Club - At the Feet of the Moon
Spoons - Old Emotions
Platinum Blonde - Crying over You

Or they go with the Canadian option of Rough Trade's High School Confidential.

Oooh! I love At the Feet of the Moon! Such a good dance song, and the skaters can just wrap old rags around their necks, wrists, and ankles for the costumes, so it is budget friendly as well.

... and Pearl Jam

 

[Parsley Sage]

Alanis' Too Hot came out in 1991

Alanis Morissette - Too Hot

[Coco]

Pearl Jam is 90s.

I think their predecessor (Mother Love Bone) was 80s, barely.

Would pay $$ for a good grunge dance program, though.

Yes they are! I somehow read most of the thread and came away with the impression that it is the 90ies that will be the theme Just ignore me. And yes, all the grunge please.

 

[peibeck]

and of course VAN HALEN - Jump!

This would be ironic in the discipline where jumps aren't allowed.

 

[hlp728]

If a team uses Van Halen, I hope they do something off the 5150 album like Dreams.

The Chipmunk Adventure soundtrack would a be fun RD especially with the song “The Girls/Boys of Rock N Roll” along the choreography from the movie.

I dare a team to use the Rocky IV soundtrack. There’s great music from it.

If you gotta got go Canadian, there’s the theme song “Run with Us” from the cartoon The Raccoons, Sarah McLachlan’s Vox album, Jane Siberry’s early albums, etc.

Vox was 80s?? Idk how I didn't know this, but we listened to it all through college so I guess that's why it feels 90s to me. I'd love to see some skating to Vox songs.

Vox was on her first album which came out in 1988. However, the song was only released as a single in 1992 making it both 80s and 90s.
