Continuing active duty ・ Ice dancers Kana Muramoto & Daisuke Takahashi are working on “new programs”. Coach Zoueva reveals “New programs to debut in the fall”

<Exclusive coverage> (by Akiko Tamura)

On May 27, Daisuke Takahashi announced on SNS that he would continue to compete in ice dance with Kana Muramoto, relieving fans all over the world. Coach Marina Zoueva reveals on the situation of the two training for the new season in Florida during an exclusive interview.

"I am very pleased that Daisuke has decided to continue his career. We had a meeting after the World Championships and had a lot of discussions. I expected him to continue, but it was still undecided. It was Daisuke himself who had to make the decision. He pondered and decided. "

　Coach Zoueva said so over the phone from Florida. After appearing on an ice show in Japan, the two started training for the new season in Florida about a month ago.

"I'm currently working on new programs. I'm in charge of choreography for both Rhythm Dance and Free Dance."

　Coach Zoueva is a world leader not only as a coach but also as a choreographer. She has worked on programs for Nathan Chen, Marin Honda and Takahiko Kozuka in the past, as well as in pairs and ice dancing.


|| Rule revision is "a plus for Daisuke"

　The ISU (International Skating Union) amends and changes the rules little by little every year, but this year there was a major amendment to the rules for ice dancing.

Originally, the ice dance competition consisted of three parts: Compulsory Dance, Original Dance, and Free Dance. However, at the end of the 2010 World Championship, compulsory dances were eliminated from the competition, and it was structured to incorporate the steps of pattern dance (formerly compulsory dance) into rhythm dance (formerly original dance). The challenge was Midnight Blues last season and Finnstep the previous season.

　However, from the 2022/2023 season, it has been decided that pattern dance will be excluded from rhythm dance for Seniors. Instead, a new element has been added: a "pattern dance-like" step sequence that maintains the dance hold position, and a choreographic rhythm sequence.

"This is a plus for Daisuke. He hasn't done compulsory dances, so it helps them to be allowed to express more freely."

Coach Zoueva analyzes that.


|| How do the two express Latin rhythms?

　Pattern dance is gone, but rhythm dance is given a different rhythm challenge each season. This season is Latin rhythms, and it is essential to include at least two types of rhythm from salsa, rumba, bachata, merengue, mambo, cha-cha, and samba.

　Takahashi was good at performing to Latin music such as mambo and tango when he was single. His musical expression, which is far from the Japanese, has been highly praised by judges around the world.

"The biggest difference from last season is that the number of staff around us has increased. However, this is normal, and until last season we restricted contact with people due to the pandemic. "

In addition to Latin dance lessons, they work with acrobat professionals, mainly lifts, once or twice a week.

"We will increase the number of competitions," said coach Zoueva.

What are their goals this season, which is the third one?

"To get rid of the missing levels of elements, and to show a stable performance in competition," said Coach Zoueva.

　While the two showed surprisingly rapid growth last season, the programs became more difficult and there were some mistakes during the competition.

They came 6th in the first international debut at the NHK Trophy, and 2nd place at the Warsaw Cup in late November. However, they made an unexpected mistake at the All Japan Championship and missed the expected participation in the Beijing Olympics. There was a mistake at the beginning of the Four Continents Championships, but this did not affect the score so much, so they got the highest placement ever for a Japanese team by winning a Silver medal. At the World Championship they placed 16th out of 31 couples.

"Daisuke needs time, of course, but it's a matter of participating in a good number of competitions. Fortunately, the pandemic has settled down this season, so we plan to increase the number of games compared to last year."

　Their current world ranking is 15th. They can participate in two stages of the Grand Prix Series, but they also consider participating in the Challenger Series and smaller local games.

"Daisuke was certainly good at expressing Latin music in a single program, but when it comes to dancing together, it's a different thing. Currently under the guidance of a former world champion professional dancer," Zoueva reveals...


|| "I can show you new people in the fall."

　What was the most exciting thing for coach Zoueva when they decided to continue?

"We can try new programs, especially because they have had only one free dance so far."

　As Coach Zoueva says, the two performed the Free Dance "La Bayadère" in 2020/2021, which made their ice dance debut, and in 2021/2022. The Rhythm Dance has to change every year, and they chose to keep the Free and improve the quality.

"In the fall, we can show you new people with two different programs," she said with joy. It seems that the title of the songs is still secret.

　Muramoto & Takahashi have decided to participate in "Friends on Ice" in Japan at the end of August, and I hope they will unveil a new program there.

　The two people made a big leap last season. Keep an eye on what kind of growth will be shown next season, which is their third one.

Kana Muramoto and Daisuke Takahashi: following the gold fish

Wonderful article and great photos. My wish for them this year is that all their competitive programs (and exhibition programs) be skated clean with no mistakes in order for them to get past the frustrations of their first two seasons together. Looking forward to everything they'll be presenting in the coming season.
