2026 European Championships - Rhythm Dance - "No Steps Please, We're Shittish"

[Elisheba]

I would like this better if it weren't One More Damn Ricky Martin.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I didn't know the "Ricky Martin Fan Club" has its yearly convention in Sheffield this year

I am amused, though, how Chris and Tonia just casually ignore the obvious

 

[Hedwig]

I do not like this theme. I was never a fan of the Majorovs per se.

and I LOVE this couple and their dance

 

[miffy]

It feels like half the teams so far have been Ricky Martin, I thought Tony was kidding

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Does anyone have a Macarena RD? I could at least do a Zumba routine while watching it.

 

[MsZem]

That's because they are bleeding out of their ears and can't hear anything anymore.

There are still at least 2 more

 

[Marta24]

Love my Swedish team

 

[Skaterbob]

I think Ricky Martin is the only artist that lists his music in the click and clear database for free.

Milla Ruud Reitan/Nikolaj Majorov
Coach: Rostislav Sinicyn, Natalia Karamysheva
Music: Livin' la Vida Loca, La Copa de la Vida

Sequential Twizzles W:4 M:4
Diagonal Step Sequence W:1 M:2
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 2
Choreo Rhythm Sequence
Rotational Lift 4

We keep harping on this but his transformation from singles skater to ice dancer is truly remarkable. Nikolaj will be the first skater in what, several decades, to compete have competed in more than one discipline at the Olympics. Good performance, and energy in the program, and very aggressive throughout the elements.

Q 68.89 = 1st Place

Reitan & Majorov

And Ojos Asi was right there!

 

[Sally1214]

I still have my copy of Alanis Morissette, though

Number of beats be damned, wouldn't it be amusing to see a dance pair do a routine to Hand In My Pocket with both skaters having one hand constantly in their pocket? Just musing here .... the mind wanders sometimes during ice dance.

 

[delayedaxel]

Is anybody counting? How many times did we have Ricky Martin so far?

 

[beepbeep]

I can’t with all of these Ricky Martin RDs that neither pick up the feel of the 90s, nor the feel of Ricky Martin.

Ah, gringos…

 

[PRlady]

Great score! Yay for the Norwegian- and Russo-Swedes, I like them.

 

[my little pony]

sometimes I feel like im hard on people but then people wear things like this and maybe im right

 

[Spikefan]

Now for the team that understood the assignment.

 

[rfisher]

That's because they are bleeding out of their ears and can't hear anything anymore.

Or they mute the rink noise since they should be wearing headphones.

Pretty sure 6.

[Skaterbob]

These are the worst costumes ever.

These are the worst costumes ever.

These are two of the most actual 90s costumes of the entire season!

Exactly, ugly AF. lol

Carolane Soucisse/Shane Firus
Coach: Carol Lane, Juris Razgulajevs
Music: New Kids on the Block Medley

Sequential Twizzles W:2 M:1 (W:3 M:2 after review) - Shane came to stop on the 2nd twizzle
Pattern Dance Type Step Sequence 1
Midline Step Sequence W:1 M:1
Rotational Lift 4
Choreo Rhythm Sequence

Best costumes of the season for the 90's, and I love the detail in both outfits down to the wear, and tear patterns on Shane's pants. Unfortunately the skating today was a little rough, particularly the twizzles.

Q 62.71 = 4th Place

 

[beepbeep]

And Ojos Asi was right there!

Mash it with “Estoy Aquí” and we’d have a kicker

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

These are two of the most actual 90s costumes of the entire season!

Too bad about the mistakes but it really is one of the more authentic 90s RDs.

 

[miffy]

Yeahhhhh nice one Team Ireland Except the remix bit.

Shane could totally be a baby Donnie Wahlberg circa 1991

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That was.... something.

I think I will give up on this segment.

I remember one of my nieces having an outfit like Carolane's -- it was a mini skirt not shorts.

ed: I also had to buy her a BSB sleeping bag for Christmas.
