The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

It is. "Get Ready for This" is very often played at sporting events in the US (and presumably Canada), like during starting lineups when the players are introduced, while the "Ole Ole Ole" song is associated internationally with both soccer/football and hockey. They've said they want to focus on the sport aspect of skating with the program. To me it sort of feels like they were invited to do a hype-up performance at a hockey game, which may be entirely what they were going for.

Thanks, I remeber actually hearing 'Get Ready for this' in some hockey games etc from North America. I just mostly remember it from 2 Unlimited cassette I bought in my youth
The program has a really nice idea, but somehow it falls short for me.

In general I expected lot more Eurodance for this season. There are not even any Prodigy programs I think?? Raves were big thing in the 90s. And no Ace of Base, though perhaps that one is not viewed sufficiently 'high energy'. I was especially disappointed that Reitan/Majorov didn't choose any of the gazillion Swedish Eurodance acts. Where's their patriotism?

Exactly what I was thinking. None of the music I listened to in the nineties is used for RD. No Massive Attack, Tricky, Prodigy.
No techno at all. It was the sound of the decade. There was just such variety in techno. I've lived for decades in Berlin and in the 90ies half the world came for the love parade, even quite a few when it was still small in Kreuzberg

For me (as I've probably written in this thread?) it's the lack of Brit pop, which was huge for a few years there and can be a lot of fun. Europop is also sadly lacking. And if everyone wanted to do Latin, why not Shakira?

I was also surprised and a bit disappointed at the lack of Swedish rep from Reitan/Majorov. Seemed like there would've been so many pop options!
