Whatever the music, broadway, pop concerts, high or lowbrow music, the skater must choose music that is easy for the skater from whatever source and era.
Until a skater reaches 25, he/she should avoid dramatic music which requires some kind of living experiences to characterize. Most young skaters do not have real life experiences to actually feel any emotions towards the music and in its changes in rhythm. A few, Jenny Kirk, Angelina Nikidinov, etc., may have some dramatic feelings due to the sadness in their lives but only if it brought out in the music.
Young skaters can, and often do, mimic something they saw in the movies or from a distinguished older skater. That's ok. Shows potential but not artistry.
