"Moon River"/Dutch Waltz
Andrew Starr
When I was beginning ice dancing, I assumed every rink in the free world
used the same music for each dance. Then I found rinks the next town over
might have a different set of records (that vinyl stuff) or tapes than my
club.
So, what music did/does your club use for various dances?
Dutch Waltz Moon River
Willow Waltz Edelweiss (or was this for the Ten Fox?)
Fourteen Step 76 Trombones
Killian It's a Small World
P.S. Thanks to Sandra, I shelled out money for a Snoopy driving the
Zamboni t-shirt. But it will be fun to wear to school in August. (people
are all excited because I used to skate.)

The Yarmouth Figure Skating Club (Yarmouth, Nova Scotia) has "Someday My
Prince Will Come" for their Dutch Waltz. When my daughter took her dance
test for this we took our music along as her coach felt that it was a
better piece than some for the dance. Guess it all depends what year your
club purchased tapes as to what music is on them

Those were the music selections used when *I* tried my Prelim
Dances back in 1974-75. I think it was CFSA Series 3. Last I heard the
CFSA was up to Series 7 or 8 and that was a few years ago. I assume that
the USFSA also has their own selections for the various dances. I would
like to know the name of the music used for the Viennese Waltz that we
always referred to as the cuckoo clock music. We only ever heard it when
we were at competitions in New York state.

I don't think we were allowed to take our preferred music to test
sessions. It was whatever the testing rink normally used.

I could be wrong, but while the USFSA I think sells dance music tapes, I
don't think that clubs have to exclusively buy from the USFSA.

At GREENBRIER Figure Skating Club we use some of these ice dancing
songs.
These are only a few:
Dutch Waltz - Someday My Prince Will Come
Rhythm Blues - Stripper
Cha - Cha - Tea For Two
Swing - Waltzing Matilda
Fiesta Tango - The Rain in Spain
Fourteenstep - Four Men Blowing
Viennese Waltz - The Blue Danube (This song is a must!)
Yankee Polka - O Sussanna!
Ravensburger Waltz - The Blue Danube (a very fast version)

I can hear it in my head now! (don't know the name, sorry.)

I wish our rink used actual music for the dances. I am familiar with
many, many songs (including all but one of those below) and I
don't recognize anything on the tape they play EVERY SINGLE
Tuesday. It's very obscure "music" not songs - if that makes
sense? Around Christmas, someone did make a tape with
Christmas songs with the right beat for the dances. (Have you
ever seen anybody do the Hickory Hoedown to Grandma Got
Run Over By A Raindeer???? :-) )
Although at the dance sessions in Cincinnati, they do use
"real" songs. I learned how to do the Rhythm Blues to
I'm the Only One by Melissa Etheridge (sp?). That is the
absolute ultimate killer beat for that song!!!!!
I am the secretary of our club for the coming season. I hope
no one minds if I suggest using the songs in these and coming
postings next year. We could really use some different music.
Since taking up dancing I find myself counting beats when
I hear an interesting song on the radio or in a bar. I even played
some of my old 60's music to see what I could find in 2/4, 3/4
and 4/4 time. That could be a full time job!
Thanks.
Happy Skating!!

Way back when 72' or 73' we had an end of summer test session with 47 starts
of the Dutch Waltz. (Skaters from the Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and
Greenbay areas). 2 skaters one starting from each end of the ice.
After the 2nd start the alternate tape got eaten by the tape player.
If I never here Moon River again it will be to soon :)
Thank the powers that be that they were smart enough to have two panels or it
would have been 94 starts. :P

Our club uses:
Dutch: Could I have this Dance?
Willow: Les Bicyclettes de Belsize
Fourteen Step: Consider Yourself (from Oliver)
Killian: The Night they invented Champagne
Our son and his partner dance at several different clubs to get ice
time, and thus are used to a wide variety of music for compulsories.
At the last competition, an older set was played and some of the kids
were really thrown off, never having heard anything but one tune for
the Baby Blues - and not the one they were now being expected to skate
to.

Our club uses a piano version of Rodney Crowell's Don't Let Your Feet
Slow You Down (piano as in like that Floyd Cramer guy on the TV ads).
I just about fell over the first time I heard it, being a huge Rodney
Crowell fan.

Ohmigod! I can't believe it! Another actual, honest-to-God Rodney Crowell
fan. Cool! Me, too (p.s. what a cool club you must have ") )!

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad.
You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
