2023-2024 Rhythm dance

[skategal]

Linda Ronstadt is now soaring in streams because of The Last of Us. They might want to switch to the 70’s now as this is when that song was released.

This popped up in my feed yesterday. So good.

I prefer the Ronstadt version but this one I could see Piper and Paul skating to. Very much like their Vincent and Long and Winding Road.

I’m hoping that the rumors are wrong and that the next RD will be Waltzes, Polkas or Marches!

Or the best of both worlds—waltzes, polkas and marches to 80s music!

We’re the any in the 1980s? “Hail to the Chief”?

Bring out the Weird Al Yankovic!! (I'd love it. Especially as I could see someone like Paul Poirier completely committing by perming his hair and wearing a moustache like 80s Al)

Tons actually - here's Leonard Cohen's Take This Waltz. And technically from 1979 but The Beat's version of Tears of a Clown is apparently a polka.

I just got an ad in my inbox for '80s-themed jewelry. Maybe the ISU's actually on to something. Maybe the '80s really are coming back.

I often go to Retro 80s dance parties so I’d say yes they are! Where’s my New Wave hair when I need it?

 

[Primorskaya]

How many choreographers will look to The Americans soundtrack for their music choices, I wonder.

Love that series, Keri Russel is perfect. She actually reminds me of Gordeeva a bit, which immensely helped me buy her as a Russian. And music-wise it's great. They had me at "Tusk", although that's 70s I think. Anyway, perfect for a topical "Cold War" theme!

Tusk is 1979 but the video feels really 80s.

The Americans is DH’s and my joint favorite TV series ever. There are others that only one of us loves but that one we agree on.

And the music was only exceeded by the period clothes and all those wigs Keri wore.

 

[Aussie Willy]

All I want is a "Weird Al" Yankovic dance, may be to Eat to and Like a Surgeon

Hey all you need is the Weird Al movie to justify the use of the music from the soundtrack.

For anyone dissing on 80's music should watch a few of the docos around about it. Not so much the mainstream US stuff except for the punk and alternative scenes, but definitely the UK music scene was quite groundbreaking in terms of future influence. And I cannot talk enough about Australian music from the 80s. I saw so many great bands back then.

 

[Pink Cats]

We need to start raising money now for the epic costumes they can wear.

I can't find the video - but the Canada-danes when they were Danes only, skated to the INXS classic "Never Tear Us Apart" with a instrumental march added in for the Ravensburger Waltz in the 15-16 season. I think that's about the time I become interested in them.

Goanna were pretty cool.

 

[chantilly]

There’s also tons of film soundtracks from the 80’s

 

[Rukia]

Let's be real though. Go look for a "Best of the 80s" playlist on Spotify and that's what 85% of the dances will be to.

I remember one episode where they literally spent at least 5 minutes digging a hole. And it was still engaging. That takes a brilliant show to pull off.
I was so disappointed that they never once busted out a wig resembling Keri's Felicity-era curls during the show's run, but IIRC I read somewhere that she consciously avoided that.

They were digging up the corpse of a fellow spy who’d been poisoned by his own biological-warfare invention, to cut a chunk out of him and save the germ.

That’s pretty unforgettable.

80's theme confirmed! And it seems it was definitely chosen as a crowd-pleaser. I beg to differ about audiences automatically preferring Street or Latin to waltzes, but no-one at ISU is asking for my opinion
Still wondering what "80s" means in terms of rhythm, it can mean so many different things from power ballads to pop, I don't know what they'll be looking for...

 

[BlueRidge]

phooey

Probably won’t happen but it would be nice if the skaters could choose from 2 or 3 rhythms we haven’t had in a while.

 

[Aussie Willy]

I just wonder how they will describe the music choices. I would love to see them put the terms New Romantics, Yacht Rock and Kate Bush (because she is a class of her own) in there.

 

[BlueRidge]

I hope teams choose waltzes from the 80s just to spite them.

That's what I would do. Just to try and differentiate myself from the rest of the field.

A yacht rock RD could potentially be a glorious train wreck.

After watching the Grammys and their salute to rap/hip-hop as starting 50 years ago, are you all ready for classic rap/hip-hop from Dr Dre, Enimen, Run DMC, Queen Latifah, Ice-T, LL Cool, Salt n Peppa, etc?

 

[morqet]

Everyone to do a quickstep to don’t get me wrong or a waltz to never tear us apart, please

On the other hand what about "She's my cherry pie"?
