Where do you/your club buy the Ice Dance music you are writing about?
(Christmas, music Joelle's coach likes?) Are there many tapes available? If
so, what are your favorites?

I'm going to start dance soon, so I'm curious.

There is official music on CD which is quite expensive (110SWF), but
you get 4 CDs and six tunes of each dance. Best to copy the CDs and
keep the masters at home as they do get damaged easily.

Go to ISU web site www.isu.org and select Publications for Sale, then
ISU Official Dance Music for the 22 compulsory dances(produced in
1998, 4 CDs.)
Don't make the mistake of buying the Dance Rhythms CD, they are just
beat and no music.

Or go to www.skatecanada.ca and select English, Online Store, Locate
an Article, then search with words Music. They do Series 8 CD of dance
music at 74.99 CAD.

I downloaded your Dutch waltz music a few weeks ago, and have been
skating around the kitchen to it. Fun and helpful, thanks.

When you test a compulsory dance, do you bring your own music, or is it
provided? And if you bring your own, does it have to be an authorized
version, or can it be any music that has the proper rhythm and tempo?

It's always been provided when I tested, and it behooves you to make sure you
have the same music that is being tested...since the tests I took were always
at my club, our club had the music.

Seems to me a club should have all the dance music. Our club does and we dont'
even have a dance coach, just a couple of us who take dance elsewhere.

The club provides the music everywhere that I've tested dance.

It's provided, as it is when you compete a compulsory dance.

At my club, usually the coaches bring the music their students are used to
using. My old club had copies of the music, but here it's pretty much up to the
coaches. Luckily, with the ability to burn CD's, all the coaches have it and
most of the more serious dancers have their own copies. I have the Skate Canada
and ISU versions, as well as one other.

Yes, the Paso, Kilian, and American Waltz music are my favorites.

The songs are 96 kbps and 44 kHz. If you rip them to a WAV they will burn to a
CD.

You're welcome. I listen to the dances I'm working on/have just learned and do
the steps so I can memorize them.

It is typically provided. However, if you are not testing at your usual club
and have a specific song you want to test to, you should probably bring your
own. Different clubs tend to have different music.

If you bring your own, it can be any non-vocal music with the proper rhythm and
tempo. Carly Donowick, who dances with Leo Ungar, tested her Kilian to the
Yankee Polka music. She asked the judges first and they said it was fine - so
long as she could keep up! :-)

Right-click or option-click on the link, and select "Save File As", then save
them to a folder on your computer. You need a MP3 player such as Winamp to
listen to them.

Thanks, Dooobedooo! Right now I'm getting a "Technical Error" message on the
ISU website (somehow that sounds par for the course ;) but those cassettes at
Skate Canada look interesting.

We're just a relatively small, not too old, skating club. Everyone so far has
taken Freestyle lessons, but another adult and I want to start dance. I love
trying to make the moves in my programs work with the music, so I know I'll
enjoy dance.
