2025-26 Program Music and Choreographers

[Holy Headband]

Journey through the Orient (Eastern Intro by Jeff Van Dyck, Shadows Over Persia by Hakan Glante, Epic Middle Eastern Vocal by Andrea Krux, Middle Eastern by India Happy)

OK, well, I doubt he's medalling at the Olympics with this royalty-free Oriental music medley lmao

 

[peibeck]

I could have sworn they'd already skated to Coldplay in the past. But, then again, their programs are almost always of the Leave A Light On/Catch You When You Fall/bland, slow ballads that have infected the pairs discipline for the last 5-7 years.

You forgot the terrible "Unchained Melody" cover from "Ghost the Musical."

Is there something going on with the reel around the sun? Why have 28 teams chosen this? Lol

This is gonna be one hum drum of a season, I think we should start something for figure skaters like a prize or start a go fund me anybody that picks creativity with songs gets funding.

And sitting through another version of Romeo and Juliet? Was tango de Roxanne unavailable? Lol.

Plus, he’s married and she’s like 25 years younger, lol. Sorry I’m grumpy and I’m sick, I’m not happy with the season. All I want to watch is Amber Like a Prayer, and everybody else can take a pass.

Well, Minerva and Nikita come with some creativity.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

There are worse things. I appreciate them not going with blah blah bland pairs music.

was this featured in a movie? Dune three? Smurfs two? Deadpool meets 50 shades? Movies for the masses? Why is everybody choosing this song? Does ice cream world have a surplus on vanilla?

And next in line after them on the alternate list is G/A? And they are Warhorse magnets as well. Umphhh.

I think GP assignment should never be based on world standings or points or stuff like that needs to be based on what you’re performing to. Lol for real.

You forgot the terrible "Unchained Melody" cover from "Ghost the Musical."

There has only ever been one acceptable program to the "Ghost the Musical" soundtrack and I, for one, am happy to see Chan/Howe bringing it back this season, lol.

 

[sp555]

Is anyone skating to Ace of Base for the RD? It's the only one I've been expecting and have not seen yet in these lists.

It has to be a sports themed RD, those are all songs played at sporting events. I am here for the camp if so.

 

[Belsornia]

Earth Song is only acceptable if B E N O I T has choreographed them a dramatic reenactment of Jarvis Cocker's Brit Awards stage invasion and bum waggle ready for Euros in Sheffield.

Looking at her costume in the brief clip, I think you're probably right - it looks like an ice-dance version of a referee's shirt.

I’m just going to declare it my favorite of the season (unless someone does Clueless).

 

[lauravvv]

Not so strange, to my mind. All of them are energetic songs connected to sports (as @Spikefan wrote).

It seems to be a trend for the Canadians this year; two junior teams (Olympia Kalaganis/Emile Deveau and Annabell Theroux/Rafael Gossard) are doing the basketball version of it with the theme from Space Jam in addition to "Get Ready for This."

i mean that's fine, but just saying "they're all sports songs" doesn't make it go together any better for me hahaha I don't hate the idea or anything i just find it strange musically

In the Loop only confirmed the RD, so this clip might be just a gala program. One of their admins was at their monitoring session last week at CQE, so she’d know their actual competition music.

Actually, there have been zero acceptable programs to that hideous soundtrack, but I admire your fervent devotion to Spencer.

As much as I adore Grumpy Cat, I feel like this uninspired Bocelli choice is cliché at best and stale at worst. Sigh.

Seriously though? Maybe this FD is fake news. I don't believe they'd do that to themselves.


But OTOH, what are the Shib Sibs and Carr/Pom doing? Is there any news on these two?

I'm only going by what the IG post that @Karen-W linked as LaLa's FD above. I'm guessing it was announced that way at the show.

C/P are supposed to reveal at least one of their dances at that show in Norwood/Boston tonight(?)/this weekend (?)

I don't know if the Shibs are in that show or not.

Ok we have an answer to this now and it is no.

Yep, confirmed that Io Ci Saro is not LaLa's FD https://x.com/gabietab/status/1956135708722184316

What a relief!

Well I guess we can do the official Carreira/Ponomarenko rd announcement:

Sweet Dreams by La Bouche and 100% Pure Love by Crystal Waters

 

[Bigbird]

Was it good though.
