The Dance Hall 14: Waltz Tango Foxtrot

[Sylvia]

According to an interview at Champs Camp, Vadym sustained his injury trying a new choreo jump

AnythingGOE's compilation of interviews (also includes Carreira/Ponomarenko) is linked in this GSD thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...orwood-aug-27-2026.113962/page-2#post-6951350

With Allison Reed announcing what sounds like a soft retirement, what are the chances that she joins her sister Cathy Reed build ice dance in Japan?

With Allison Reed announcing what sounds like a soft retirement, what are the chances that she joins her sister Cathy Reed build ice dance in Japan?

Extremely doubtful as she has not made her life there the way Cathy had for many years.

I'm always surprised to see how many Americans wind up staying in Montreal when they retire. I wonder if Allison will follow Katelyn's lead and stick around with her French boyfriend.

If they went by the rules, Cathy Reed would have relinquished US citizenship when she turned 22, and Allison Reed would have relinquished Japanese citizenship when she turned 22 if she kept US citizenship, or when she later got Georgian/Lithuanian citizenship.

Jackie Wong sort of confirmed it on Twitter.

Oh thank god it’s out now because yes, the costumes for their RD is absolutely essential because of the roles they are playing

[Rukia]

I still think they could have shown it without costumes, but I'm excited to see what they've cooked up

does anyone have theories on what roles they’re playing? I feel like Hamilton/Burr would be fun, and they’re too creative to do Hamilton/Eliza.

Jackie confirmed that Caroline is Burr and Michael is Hamilton. And here's the teaser from instagram.

That looks so good!

 

[Cayuse]

That looks so good!

I'm a fan! The concept is great (maybe, a little difficult to judge from such a short snippet). I also enjoyed the Taschlers's RD with the waltz and quick step they debuted in Kinoshita.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I am so hype for this

 

[Bunny Hop]

That is a really interesting choice and I can't wait to see it!

Samantha Udell and Jordan Juan are a new senior dance team training at Haus of Diamonds. This interview doesn't say which country they'll skate for, but presumably it's for the U.S. He's brand new to dance and used to skate singles for the U.S.; she's represented both the U.S. and Australia in dance.

Q&A with Samantha Udell and Jordan Juan

Despite having skated together for just two months, this duo already looks like an experienced partnership on the ice.

Looks like Udell/Juan have decided to represent Croatia.

I'm into the gauntlet US teams are throwing this season, in terms of creativity anyways.

OMG. Finally some ice dance news that I love! What a great role for Caroline.

 

[jmtfti]

Lin-Manuel Miranda himself shared Caroline's post in his Instagram Stories! Her reaction is amusing: https://www.instagram.com/stories/caroline.g_103/

("Omg an endorsement from Hamilton himself. Does this mean I need to call off the duel?")

let's go it's what they deserve

I think we are in for another hyper competitive period between several talented US teams. I love ZingKol but they’re going to have to fight to keep their number one status, world bronze or no. If it weren’t for the boredom of the top World team, I’d be thoroughly looking forward to this quad. As it stands it will still be plenty interesting in the US and internationally.

Aurea Cincon-Debout and Atl Ongay-Perez are listed here as a junior dance team competing at Souvenir Georges-Ethier. It's not clear which country they're competing for (she's Canadian, he's British). It's a Canadian competition, but that's not confirmation.

Julia Epps & Nicholas Ying also are a new team listed for Souvenir Georges-Éthier as well.

ETA - Ying skated with Italy's Anna Bodrone in 2 internationals in early 2026: https://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00125881.htm

I think they could also chose to skate for Mexico (Atl) or France (Aurea was born there), not sure if Atl has ties to Germany beyond skating with Mia-Lee Mayer last season. I'd be happy if Atl came back to GB, of course, but if they choose Mexico they should have a clear path to the big events. First Gauthier/Ayer, now Cincon-Debout/Ongay-Perez - apparently this off season I've become the "Why not skate for Mexico?" cheerleader.

I really enjoyed both Cincon-Debout with Earl-Jesse Celestino and Ongay-Perez with Ashlie Slatter ( Baby Brits) so I'm looking forward to seeing this team whichever country they pick.

Patinage Quebec's Souvenir Georges-Éthier ice dance competition is happening in Beauport this Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 19-20 (with free livestreaming) - info in Kiss & Cry: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...-fall-competitions.113875/page-4#post-6952616

Nikolaj Majorov skated to that 10 years ago as a junior skater! Brilliant to recycle one of this junior programs

Last-minute change was Anna Cappellini being replaced by Francesca Fermi as technical specialist. An excuse to resurrect the old video of Fermi in a Prokofiev's walz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs7h0dKWmsw

Mrazeks won Lombardia Trophy, thanks to Lopareva/Brissaud's low levels in the FD.

Disappointing competition for Tali/Lafornara who probably hoped to come much closer to Orihara/Pirinen after they were so close to the Taschlers at Kinoshita Cup.

I have no idea who Raye is, but I'm looking forward to seeing if Harris/Chan can continue to improve.

Noah really looked like he was in pain. I hope he's not injured.
