2023-24 Program Music and Choreographers

[Karen-W]

Now you mention it, there does seem to be a pattern here ...

And, honestly, I'm here for it. I loved their Cannibal Mermaid & Pirate program last season.

Hmmm, her SP and FS are very similar (and both have Madonna songs). Yes, the style works well for her, but I think she should have had more of a contrast between the programs.

I still think there is a difference. Dance styles are different. In the short program it is house, while in the free program it is vogue.
Of course, we need to watch the programs, but with the right choreography, they should not be very similar.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Aren’t we going to get enough Madonna with the 80s RD?

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

The single skaters always make the overload of dance choices worse by doing the same programs.

 

[airgelaal]

Come on, it's just that Loena will have the best dress for RD again

I'm gonna laugh like crazy if Loena's FS this season feels more 80s than most of the senior RDs, the same way I laughed at how her SP last season felt more Latin than most of the senior RDs.

Misha Ge's post just now: https://www.instagram.com/p/CuvQTogpPKD/

ZHANG Siyang / YANG Yongchao (CHN pair)
FP - "If Came the Hour” by Secret Garden [eta: ft. vocalist Tommy Körberg per Misha's IG story]

Choreo: Misha Ge
Choreo assistant: Yura Min

Misha Ge recently posted a photo of the pair Siyang ZHANG / Yongchao YANG who worked with him and Yura Min on their SP in Artesia, California: https://www.instagram.com/p/CuddocwrB5-/
It's a martial arts concept but I'm not sure if "Wushu (Wukong’)" is supposed to be a music title or just the theme?

If it's Wukong as in Sun Wukong, it could be just a theme, or a movie in China we won't be familiar with.

Ed Appleby (GBR)

SP: You Should Be Dancing / Disco Inferno
FS: John Wick soundtrack (Sand Wick, Excommunicado, John Wick mode)

Choreographers: Wendi Ross, Stephane Lambiel

Source: ISU bio update

Looks like his SP is adapted from his disco exhibition (so I'm guessing that's the one Ross did) which he seemed more into than either of his competitive programmes last season.

 

[Belsornia]

And another from the ISU bio updates:

Ashlie Slatter / Atl Ongay-Perez (GBR)

RD: It's Tricky / Walk This Way by Run DMC
FD: 5-1.15 Hours / St James' Infirmary Blues / Great Balls of Fire

Choreographers: Philippa Towler-Green, Mattieu Geffre-Gardiner

Source: ISU bio

I was expecting them to go cheesy for the RD - this is Team Towler-Green after all - but I am excited to see this one. And the FD too!

(I know, I know, don't uber juniors.)

We have a whole bunch of rhythm dance program info, both senior and junior, from Dallas Classic. Many thanks to @TanithandBenFan and her sister for these!

In case you can't access Kiss & Cry

Senior RD music information from Dallas (courtesy of my sister):

Wolfkostin/Tsarevski – “The Promise” by When In Rome and “Call Me” by Blondie

Flores/Desyatov – “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “When Doves Cry”

Ling/Wein – “Hold on I’m Coming” by Aretha Franklin; another Aretha song (slow)

Larson/Kapran – “I’m So Excited”, “Just the Two of Us” and “It’s Raining Men”

Koncius/Shchepetov – “Rock this Town” and “Stray Cat Strut” by Stray Cats

Carhart/Kolosovskyi – “Caribbean Queen” by Billy Ocean; another Billy Ocean song (slow)

Kowar/Schwappach – “Never Tear Us Apart” and “What You Need” by INXS

Junior RD music from Dallas:

Neset/Markelov – “Still Loving You” by Scorpions and “Hate Myself for Loving You” by Joan Jett

Peal/Peal – “What Have You Done For me Lately” and “Rhythm Nation” by Janet Jackson

Hauer/Starr – “Simply the Best” by Tina Turner

Lavrova/Rogers – Michael Jackson song; “Bad” by Michael Jackson

Mullen/Mullen – “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” by Wham and “Father Figure” by George Michael

Melillo/Mintz – “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel

Hagan/Hagan – “Ghostbusters”


My sister and I were children of the 80's who listened to the radio in our room every day after school, so she thought she'd be able to identify every song, but there were three that evaded her. She was cocky and didn't have her phone out ready to Shazam them.

 

[leilaofpaper]

Is it just me or is “Father Figure” a weird song for (what I’m assuming is) a sibling team?

Thanks!

Not too bad, but I’m extremely partial to the music choices.
