2025-26 Program Music and Choreographers

[litenkyckling]

why does this happen every decade - so much variety in music available and they all choose the same 4 songs and artists

Christ on a cracker, enough with the Ricky Martin!

Unless someone finally does Por Arriba Por Abajo, Vuelve or Casi Un Bolero

Seems as if Ricky Martin in 2026 is the equivalent of Despacito in 2018.

I could’ve sworn they said somewhere that they wouldn’t be repeating the tango FD, so I’m mildly surprised to see it back. Plans change, I guess. It is a beautiful program.

I just hope this will not start a thing in ID where teams do part II

Well, when the Duschenays did Missing I and II, there weren’t a lot of teams following in that mode.

OMG. So they’re using the Broadway show version, with that bizarre rendition of Bad Romance? This should be…interesting

 

[jmtfti]

On Smart/Dieck's rhythm dance, the version of "Freedom" they're using is apparently Robbie Williams' cover:

I think both programmes are great choices for them. I can't wait to see how much they have changed with their new coaching team.

Interesting... so they're dropping both the previously announced Magic Mike RD and the Tarzan FD and going back to last year's FD. They’re definitely favorites for the Junior World podium this season, so maybe La Bohème feels like the safer bet. Also, add yet another Backstreet Boys RD to the list.

I looked up Navras and it's from one of The Matrix movies? The vocals are in Sanskrit. I'm guessing this will be the music for the choreo steps like how The Feeling Begins was for last season's iteration of Dune.

yaasss shae lynn is a great match for torgy and his affinity for hopping around and hitting awkward body positions

The choreography suits him, she may also be the one who locates avant garde Belgian and Canadian music that is unique and memorable.
