Many thanks to @Rhumba d’Amour and Neset/Markelov for the new thread title!

Carry on!

Seeing the annoucements from some of the other countries/teams, the US teams better bring it. There's going to be some seriously on point camp.

And not in the way that N/M are just slamming together random '90s music campy.

Honestly, none of the announcements from other teams are all that exciting to me. I'm withholding judgment until we see these programs. Having said that, I feel pretty confident that CarPon will have a strong selection.

After winning the 2025 Dallas Classic, their first domestic event of the season, the team is now preparing for the Lake Placid Ice Dance International and hopes to earn Junior Grand Prix assignments.

It’s a tall order for a team in only their second season—but if the past year is any indication, Aboian and Veselukhin are only getting started. Veselukhin is also working on his U.S. citizenship so that they can be eligible for the Olympic games in 2030.

It was nice of Hana and Daniil to give Oksana some credit for their choreography for their new RD and FD. She spent about a week in Newington CT this spring after attending the Saturday events of Boston Worlds. Of course, it's classic that one of their programs is to Madonna's Vogue! It's cool they brought in Madonna's Vogue choreographer to help them as well!
