    The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

    Ideally perhaps, but being realistic, all the champions at any given competition actually have to have is a better performance than the other people in that competition on that day. And between their spectacular elements, their choreography and their music choices, F/G are clearly aiming to be...

    The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

    I just saw Fear/Gibson's FD from Bolero Cup and wow, what a fabulously joyous program! For sure it needs a bit more polishing and practice, but it'll get that. It very much reminds me of the program that earned them the Disco Brits nickname, and would even if they hadn't brought back the iconic...

    Skating Parents

    Project and institution, and you're right, a research project like this should have human research ethics clearance and a project number from the university's HRE Committee which can be checked for validit, and protocols to follow.

    Figure Skating Baby News!

    So happy to hear that Laurine has completed her studies and has a business plan ready to go! Wishing her and Bourzat all the best for their bub-to-be.

    2025-26 Program Music and Choreographers

    I could really do without yet another round of the Big Beer Ad on ice...

    Yes. And of course the vitriol would have been amped up even further than usual for the troll in question because Dania Mouaden isn't white.

    The usual reason: cruel and spiteful idiots deciding to punish them for being 'fat'.

    Inappropriate commentary

    Unreasonable and unfeasible. There are far too many instances of this stuff for a handful of commenters on a message board to be able to compile a comprehensive annotated list on demand!

    Inappropriate commentary

    And a significant number of the ones Philippe Candeloro has. Hope OP speaks French!

    The mystery of the disappearing teaspoons

    Clearly every workplace has its own Lobelia Sackville-Baggins somewhere on the staff! :)

    The Dance Hall 12: Boston Tea Dance Party

    IIRC she's only done choreography for women's singles skaters - Lorine Schild is one.

    ISU trying to modernize, is it working?

    The introductions didn't bother me, but they did seem like a bit of a timewaster. I didn't like the leader's chair. The green room couches are pointless, but that was actively bad. Let the exhausted athletes get out of the audience's sight, wipe their sweat off, have some water and start to...

    2024–25 Canadian Women: News and Updates

    Off-topic slightly, but I do wish people, especially media commentators, would stop repeating this piece of misinformation. The age limit was raised as part of the ISU's response to the suicide of Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya; it happened to be formalised shortly after the 2022 Olympics, but it had...

    "Legacy on Ice" benefit show in D.C. (March 2, 2025) and ways to help those affected by the air tragedy over the Potomac River

    Hallelujah is a very religious song. It's just that the religion in question is Judaism, not Christianity.
