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

I'm happy that the pattern is back, but I'm surprised that the IDTC went with such a difficult one as the Golden Waltz. I wonder what changed, because Rettstatt seemed so adamant to get rid of the pattern for Seniors.
It will be a challenge for a lot of teams, but it's finally a decision made by the IDTC that I like. Therefore, I can't wait for next season and watch some beautiful Waltz RDs.

Maybe a bit of "oh, you want a waltz, do you? we'll see how you feel about that after you're forced to do the Golden Waltz for a season..."I'm happy that the pattern is back, but I'm surprised that the IDTC went with such a difficult one as the Golden Waltz.

Maybe it is a shot across the bow of skaters who complained about 120 bpm this season.- "This might be a good time to retire if you did not like 120 bpm: the Golden is 186 bpm."

I don't know that they were upset about the 120bpm requirement so much as it being required for the WHOLE of the RD. Had they been able to pair it with a slower section, I think the '90s RD concept would have worked much better.

Yes and there are so many great slower songs from the 90s that could have been used.

This website has a list of songs with a waltz tempo of over 186bpm.

There are some interesting options and teams could really go in a lot of different directions with this theme.

Ice dancers I like, please do skate to Shostakovich Jazz Suite and not to Bublé or Meghan Trainor!

I really want someone to skate to the Greek waltz on that list.
But, I actually like the Meghan Trainor song and wouldn't be upset if someone chose that. I just want to see a VARIETY. There's room for everything and a waltz tempo is so common across musical genres.

I'd be thrilled if any team skates to "The Tennessee Waltz" but I'm not holding my breath for that one.

Well, no, seeing that it's a slow waltz with a bpm that is too low for this RD theme.

Since Tennessee Waltz is out....this is my vote.
Even better if it is the Muppet version.

It wouldn’t work for the golden waltz. Could a slow waltz not be the other rhythm? Or does it need to be something that is not a waltz at all?
Ah, the wedding waltz.I really want someone to skate to the Greek waltz on that list.
(Having been to dozens of Greek weddings I can assure you this is never actually played.
