Musical Selection?
Question:I'm a competitive ice dancer. My partner and I have been competeing together (both on our second partnerships) for seven years this month. We used to pairs skate, but now mainly do ice dancing (sort of ballroom dancing on ice, to simplify things greatly).
We're doing this benefit in the summer, not a standard competition. Therefore, no CD/OD/FD regulations. We're skating three dances, one must have a latin feel (think Cha-Cha/Samba/Rumba), one must have more of a traditional ballroom feel (think Waltz/Tango/Foxtrot), and the other is a freestyle. We need songs for each.
What we'd like:
Latin: Sexual undertones (without being unappropriate), passionate, medium tempo.
Ballroom: Slower tempo, more lovey-dovey then passionate.
Freestyle: FUN! Fast tempo.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Rosefern
Answers:
Freestyle- Sway by anybdy... or maybe music from memoirs of a geshia.. very good.
Ballroom- you can't beat strauss for waltzes if that's what you are looking for. or else i always like "it had to be you" and "fly me to the moon."
bonus thought. "new york, new york" my frank( guess) is always a BIG crowd pleaser!
Can't remember what to do with my arms?
Check out Caravan from the Chocolate soundtrack, Home by Michael Buble, and Such Great Heights by The Postal Service.I would definitly go with I Love You by Marina McBride. It seems like the perfect song!
Check out songs by the artist/group called "Bond" they do some good stuff for skating.
good luck
