2025-26 Program Music and Choreographers

[Stephanie]

I don't like My Way so that's meh just generally but I've been wanting to see someone skating to the Wonder Woman soundtrack for years and I love Wakaba so I am very here for this.

Kaiya Ruiter used it this past season.

 

[Allskate]

I feel like Kaori needed to do something more powerful.

That was exactly my reaction. It's a missed opportunity. And thumbs down for Wakaba's selection of "My Way." I do like the idea of the Wonder Woman soundtrack, and hopefully Shae Lynn has chosen good parts.

Is it the Johnny Weir “my way?” do we know?

 

[Jay42]

Kaiya Ruiter used it this past season.

I definitely forgot that, thank you for the reminder.

If Shae Lynn gave her the Nina Hagen punk rock version it could be amazing.

Not that I expect she will....

Something has to be done to every physical copy, every stream, every possible way to access the music of The Phantom of the Opera. #bringbackbeautyandthebeast

Awwww, yiss!!!!!!

 

[PRlady]

Every Japanese skater has to do POTO, I think. But in an Oly year, what a bore.

Kaori’s choices sure sound like a swan song.

 

[chantilly]

River dance is a little on the nose for Carolane and Shane but I’ll allow it.
Goodness knows they need a rousing piece of music to get some crowd support behind them. They’ve had a rough last quad.

Many Japanese top skaters will showcase their new programs at the Dreams on Ice show next week.

 

[On My Own]

Are there no Japanese choreographers who are willing to choreograph to Japanese songs for Japanese skaters?

 

[Wyliefan]

I can see Kill Bill really working for Hana.
