Putting a program together for 2021 and I plan to use the theme to the 1960s "The Avengers" TV show (not the cartoon, the fabulous British one with Lady Diana Rigg in her signature cat-suits). Added bonus--I can wear a cat suit and not a froofy dress :). Have never seen anyone use this music, and it's strong and melodic the same time. I also love Elvis--would love to skate to "The Wonder of You" sometime...

I have so many programs I want skaters to skate to. I have a whole playlist with 60+ songs just for Zhenya alone lol

Anyway this is one of the songs I would loooove for someone to skate to.

You know what I'd adore? Camden, with some of the music from the new ST:picard soundtrack, it made me think of him as soon as I heard it.

Okay, I'd like pretty much anyone to do it, but Camden would rock a Trekkie type costume too :)


great idea, but it's better if he avoids red shirts :laugh:

This ties more into the villains themed programs more, but I think it would be cool to have someone use music from the opera Othello and portray Iago.
This is just a sample of the music, theres almost 2.5 hours worth of dramatic relatively unused music in there https://youtu.be/EB85-ib0OQ0

Also this isn't really new but more gladiator programs please, the soundtrack is so great.

a lot of skaters already do, last season i remember at least 3 russian men skating to it (each and everyone without a proper costume :disapp:, yeas i'm talking to you mr Dmitrev jr). about Othello, i'd like a dance or pairs team skating as Desdemona and Othello to either Verdi's opera or Elliot Goldenthal? ballet.

Brilliant! I've wanted someone to use that music for the longest time! :)

It needs to be the black catsuit from The Cybernauts. That was the best Emma Peel catsuit.

i reconfirm my last year wish for an adult Scheherazade, maybe from a team or a man as Sharyar or the golden slave.

More music from other cultures! I would like a program on ehru music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVXejOoPECA

Yes! I always find it disturbing that an international sport which has its biggest following in Asia largely stays within Western styles of music, movement, and dress. I did just see this article: https://fs-gossips.com/elizaveta-tuktamysheva-we-want-to-show-the-woman-who-created-kabuki-theater/ I am so excited to see that program. It makes me love Queen Tukt even more!


being in quarantine i have the time to watch a lot of ballet and i got this idea: an ice dance team skating to le jeune homme et la mort

The one nice thing about this quarantine! I was watching Alvin Ailey's Revelations (if you haven't seen it, go find it! I think it is on YouTube.) and realized that I have never seen it on the ice even though it is one of the greatest American works. Of course, this might have to do with a) lack of African-Americans in figure skating, and b) a white American who attempted to skate to it would likely face backlash and charges of cultural appropriation (even though Ailey's production has white dancers in it!)
Just considering its music, though, it has audience friendly music and a great variety of pieces to pick from within the ballet. A skater or team could really let their creativity loose with this one. Anyone have any skaters/teams who could knock it out of the park? I think Satoko would be perfect for it, but when do I not think she is?

For some reason, my mind's eye sees Hubbell/Donohue skating whenever I hear LaShun Pace's There's A Leak in This Old Builiding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBFzhN_wObw No clue why.:confused:

I know nothing about African musicians/artists but there are a few pieces I like that I wish would make it to the ice, though it will likely never happen.. but, these would be VERY original skating routines..

M'Beddemi - Cheikh Lo.... nice rhythm..
