Okay guys, I'm admittedly clueless when it comes to ice dance; I watch but understand little. Is everyone meant to have latin dances tonight? or is that just coincidence? Excuse my ignorance
Paso doble is the required short dance this year. Every year, all teams have to skate to one theme for the SD. (Maybe the free dance is more to your taste? ).Okay guys, I'm admittedly clueless when it comes to ice dance; I watch but understand little.

@CanadianSkaterGuy, I didn't think you were actually saying that Just me being sarcastic.
No worries! This is the short dance, which means part of the dance contains a compulsory sequence - in this case the Paso Doble. Notice that all the teams are doing one section all the same... but then have different other elements (lifts/twizzles/step sequences). But since Paso is the compulsory sequence, it makes sense for the rest of the dance to have a latin flair.
If Amodio skated with Nagasu, he'd outshine her no matter what he's wearing or what she's wearing. Unfortunately, he'd also be the one to have a headcasey fall at the end of their routine.Beautiful costumes, but so mismatched given his slight figure. It looks like Amodio skating with Nagasu.
Is it possible for a team to have a different style than that of the requiered pattern? Like a hip hop routine that utilized the paso doble steps?

I recall some people had an issue with Nelli & Alex's SD at Europeans here, though it definitely wasn't hip hop...
Why the heck not? After the thirty paso's at Europeans, an Amodio "Love Letter to Fergie" paso doesn't sound so bad. At least he never puts me to sleep!It would be a Paso with Fergie lyrics, no doubt.
