Well, Mom thought they would go work with Maddie.

And Maddie gave them MC Hammer. Very Madison. We'll see how it goes. It will either be awful or a lot of fun.

Regarding Chock & Bates . . . it's not soft & flowy in a white dress.

So it's all good.

Yay for not being a Ricky Martin RD! (no offense to Ricky Martin and his fans).

Not sure if this is the right place to share, but one can find the debut of several new programs from Japanese skaters on this YouTube channel. Some good stuff here.

I was hoping he’d do La Boheme or Rigoletto if he was going do opera. I’m kind of disappointed with this choice but he’s always lovely to watch.

Or just anything that’s not a worse? It’s the Olympics …. I don’t understand and never will… why are you going to the main event and trotting along a tested and tired Warhorse.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

If someone doesn’t skate to abracadabra this season, there is going to be issues.

The quoted X post is from a Japanese X acct reporting on the JSF Senior Training Camp, which is currently underway.

Ummmmm are you going to take this or am I?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

All well and good, but it’s still Turandot, and we’ve still heard it a million times in skating.
Very underwhelmed by the music choices announced so far.

Totally I’m trying to go through the list and see if I see one piece of original music. Come on Amber …. she’s gonna be announcing soon. I’m at the precipice of my seat.

I fear I'm indifferent to this music choice as I'm the lone FS fan who is indifferent to that skater.

Conclave? OK then…

I’ll tune in, first time someone using it, because it only came out six months ago, it had a very interesting score, which I think is going to create some good tension for a program and of course it’s set in Italy as the Olympics, I’m here for it it.

Conclave had an awesome score. Just wish anyone else was skating to it.

From Aboian/Veselukhin's post, it looks like Dimitry Chaplin choreographed their RD and Oksana Grishuk choreographed their FD. I'm now looking forward to seeing this programme even more

Got to see both their programs at Dallas Classic and they have great material this year. With their speed and flow, the FD went by so fast that it felt like it was only a minute long. They've really matured a lot since last year.

I know Take Five is a warhorse, but this looks incredibly cool. Trust Sonja to put her own unique spin on a warhorse!

 

[TanithandBenFan]

I think Benoit and Misha Ge have choreographed 75% of the programs this year.
