Mixing Floyds with Harry Styles is a no
According to FSU, their FD will be to Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd, Sign of the times by Harry Styles and SD to Libertango and something else. Source was Pirouette magazine (German language).

The dancers enjoy the Tango Romantica pattern dance in this year’s Rhythm dance and feel it suits them well. For the music, they picked “Libertango” by Astor Piazzolla.
“We have the classical Libertango, but in an interesting arrangement,” Khaliavin revealed. “It won’t be just one rhythm as usual, but it will be in two parts. One is softer and the other part is faster. It is very interesting and the elements should go well with it. I think it will be really cool.”
The dancers chose the music themselves. “We were listening to a few pieces,” Hurtado explained. “We found a really cool vocal (interpretation) of “Libertango” and I said, ‘everyone knows this melody, so let’s do it in a different way.’ It’s not the Yo Yo Ma “Libertango” that everyone knows. Also, the fast part is with classical guitar and sounds Spanish.”
For the free dance they picked “Great Gig in the Sky” by Pink Floyd and “Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles. The goal was to do something very different from last year’s Don Quixote free dance.
“We wanted to do that, because it helps you to grow to try other styles,” noted Hurtado. “It’s so refreshing. You learned to move like this, now let’s learn to move in a different way. It is a kind of soft rock, lyrical rock. That is also a way of capturing the young people. It’s a very fresh song and we mix it with an old one. We didn’t want to do the typical tribute to Pink Floyd or just a tribute to this Harry Styles song.”
I was dreaming with a season with lots of international competitions, with more skating and less drama...
And I thought we were finally there, they still have the spot at worlds to fight for, but enough room for both teams to grow and evolve at their own rhythm.
And now this, 3 duels in a season!! Really?
Let's see how much we have learnt from past seasons...
Senor Olibritt, since you are from Spain you should have assumed that the Spanish fed would like to have something like ice-dancing "corrida".
By the way, have the RFEDH announced the selection criteriae for the only world's spot? How it would be obtained by any team?
As far as I know, there’s no news from Spanish FED, we still don´t know how they’re going to select the team for worlds. My vote (if a had one :rofl2 goes for Euros as the only criterion.
