I can't find a single industry source about the supposed Netflix deal which leads me to believe the post is fake.

Weaver and Rettstatt seem to be the only IDTC members that the media talks to. It's possible that the other committee members who represent Great, Britain, France and Germany also have similar views. It's also possible that some (or all) of them have completely different views about the...

The support of the French judge for a podium place for G&P?

This. I realize that choreographing for dance is very specialized so that even many of the former ice dancers who become choreographers seem to focus on working with singles skater, but it would be great if Weaver could team with some of the current ID choreographers to develop some out-of-the...

As someone who works in publicity and marketing, I agree which is why I think the IDTC is stupid to think that having decades dances will guarantee vitality. It's possible that a waltz RD could go viral.

In this Olympic.ca article she's quoted as saying "the move to decade themes was in the spirit of opening gender roles in ice dance, encouraging more individual movement rather than the strict lead-and-follow traditionally associated with men and women in ballroom dancing, in which ice dance has...

I hope they at least alternate between "high energy" viral-bait and more traditional rhythms every other year. Plus teams can certainly waltz to a number of song composed in the more recent past. Don't they do this on the various reality dance shows?

It kind of is but I don't think anyone is expecting Paradis to be a jumping powerhouse. He's an amazing performer so with the 3A he'll start getting senior assignments which I don't think he has to date. I imagine he's going to one of the skaters who's a fan favourite but not a medal contender...

Kaiya won 2024 Nationals. But she also couldn't go to Worlds because she didn't get the minimums. I really hope that Orser and Wilson are working on her basics because she's a great competitor but also has a lot of technical issues. I do expect that with 7 women now having the worlds minimum...

When Weaver and Poje made their Worlds debut in 2007, they finished a few places higher in the compulsory dance than they did in the OD and FD so I don't think Weaver could have been too terrible at compulsories. Plus W&P won the short dance at both the 2014 and 2015 GPFs. I like the idea of...

Pas toujours ;)

After 4 GPs of RDs the 90s theme is not getting any better. If the IDTC had at least allowed 30 seconds of the program to be at a slower beat than 120bpm, the dancers might have been able to come up a wider range of music selections.

I hope this ends up being all kinds of fabulous camp.

To save time and money, the ISU could simply play videos of the skaters' best performances of their retreads. ;)

Too bad they're not skating to one of the 1990s covers of the KC and the Sunshine Band song with the same title.
