2017-2018 Program Music and Choreographers

[clairecloutier]

Yes they launched a new design. See thread in the Board Business section.

I don't even think that's skatable. Nice idea though. As long as he doesn't play Lafayette

Yeah, but there are already around 6 links on Youtube with skating performances to music from Broadway's Hamilton (everything from local show skating, synchronized team, regional singles, recreational singles -- just not yet eligible senior national or international competitions, but clearly that will change).

Lin-Manuel Miranda himself earlier this season re-tweeted this performance by U.S. skater Philip Baker at a regional competiton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWD6kJVUmRI

If Jason does work with Rohene on a Hamilton program for the Olympic season, I'm thinking it's going to be great.

Ricky Dornbush used a muzak version of With or Without You, I think?

And because I miss Ricky D:

I can't find his Nationals fp for that year for Sherlock Holmes

Not only LLL is not the best choice for C/B but Dean choreographing it His style does not fit this type of music at all imo. He's all about quirkiness, weird body positions and lifts. He was a good fit to choreograph Under Pressure, actually the choreography should have even been quirkier and voidier.
I think Lambiel would do a great job on LLL.

Nate Bartholomay posted his and Deanna's music:

SP: Eleanor Rigby choreographed by Rohene Ward

FS: One and Where the Streets Have No Name (U2) choreographed by Mark Pillay

I am just glad they are continuing now that the US pairs team is down to 1 spot for PC.

I hope they get a 4CCs if not Worlds.

Mariah Bell posted on Instagram that she's already excited for next year and used the hashtag #beautyandthebeast. Music news?

Maybe Mariah can borrow Polina's long-curls wig, for a total "Pweety Pwincess" look?!

Hmmmmm..well..I like the change in choreographer..Boy, Dean sure is in demand..

But..... Chaplin as in Cappellini & LaNotte Chaplin??? Hope not. Guess we have to wait and see. But Kudos to going to new choreographer

 

[VGThuy]

We've seen plenty of Chaplins, but not a Christopher Dean one. This should be interesting.

Would somebody please drop a bug in James & Cipres ears to please please please please PLEASE keep Sound of Silence for their LP next year! Thank you.

PLEASE!!!!

 

[BaileyCatts]

^^ They train in Florida, don't they? Surely SOMEbody on this board has got to have connections there. Come on FSU spies, lets get it done!

 

[Spun Silver]

It's easy to get a message to them, @BaileyCatts. Just follow Vanessa on Instagram.

Actually he had contribution in choreography of Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze's Chaplin.

Give him chance. Jayne and Chris skated all possible styles in their career, including lyrical ones. And they choreographed everything themselves. And this season Chris choreographed exhibition for Gilles/Poirier, the style of which I wouldn't call quirky. I think it is a beautiful dance, though maybe not necessarily skated to the full potential by Piper and Paul.

Well well, Already some USA pairs are taking the hint and are upping their game. Once Alexa and Chris are fully healthy I hope they'll be able to perform Dean's choreography the best they can. But for the standard set by US pairs.. no I won't complete my thought. New season soon I resolve to stay positive.

 

[skatfan]

Swan Lake?!!

Oh dear. When pair teams without much ballet try Swan Lake, it's not a good thing.

LOL, me too.. but can Chris take more jump classes?

 

[Spiralgraph]

I hope he does and I hope Mervin is right there practicing beside him.

I seriously did not know that. I thought it was all Igor Bobrin and Tamara Moskvina.

 

[firstflight]

I really would love to see a Chaplin program to the vocal music from the musical--- especially the song "This Man":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn5m7j_22y8
I understand vocal ensemble songs are kind of hard to skate to, but this song is so gorgeous.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Personally, I am hoping some pairs team skates to "Evermore" for a SP off of the new Beauty and the Beast soundtrack. The music just cries out to all the pairs elements.

Anyone ever do "Evergreen" - B. Streisand?

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

If she bombs every single performance of it, then she will have officially completed her transition into Nancy Kerrigan.

I'll just assume she saving the Neil Diamond stuff for the 2022 games.

Alright, no dissing Kerrigan for a cheap laugh. Great Am. champion.

How do you know they don't have much ballet?

 

[thvu]

How do you know they don't have much ballet?

By watching them skate I imagine.

 

[skatfan]

How do you know they don't have much ballet?

i don't see it in their skating. Their Ice network bios mention musical theatre, karate, football, soccer, basketball, basketball and track. No ballet mentioned, even to watch.

Plus they're an American pair from Florida. I might think so if Meno and Sand were their coaches.

If I'm wrong, show me and I'll recant.

That's a great song, but I cant see Chris Knierim as "This Man." Maybe Della Monica and Guarise.

Actually I have seen mentioned before that the Florida teams all do ballet and I have seen at US Nationals video of Tarah and Danny doing a ballet warm-up! SO I'm pretty sure they do ballet. Not sure what Meno and Sand have to do with ballet, but if their teams are doing ballet, it's not showing.

Jason Brown, who has expressed interest in skating to Hamilton, tweeted pictures of himself and his team at the play.@jasonbskates

Just listening to Hamilton today...I would love to see Jason try something from this show.

Tim Dolensky is keeping last year's SP and he went back to Ryan Jahnke for a new FS, too:
