This discussion is making me think about what's going to happen to ice dance. If we apply the same rules to ice dance then the SD will end up being an athletic program while the FD will become the artistic program. Well, it's already that way but it would become more official and there'd be no reason for the ISU to even think of considering other styles of FD from what we see at the top now.
ice Dance is a different disciplin. i dont see any of this Happening to ice Dance. to cut compulsory and mingle it with to a short Dance was already the big Revolution. and i remember peolple saying they are going to kill ice Dance with it. i was not a fan of this idea either, but finally we all got used to and actually i like short Dance, when it´s done good
so ice Dance has already technical program short Dance and artistic program > free
the only Thing wich aplies for ice Dance is the GOE thing
