I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for dance next season!!!!!! I LOVE THE YANKEE POLKA!!!!!! (yes I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm in love with that dance!)
It's a lot of fun and it will be better with a variety of music that is not on the ISU CD.
I don't want the Shibs to split up. They work marvelously well together. So what if it keeps them from exploring romance themes in ice dance? That's such an overdone thing in not just ice dancing, but pairs. Having at least one team doing something different every season would be nice.
Dances like the Argentine Tango are all about sex - the dance between a prostitute and her client in the bordello. I'm hard pressed to come up with a way for siblings to express that in a way that doesn't make the audience feel uncomfortable.
Oh please, the Shibs have already reached the top faster than any ice dancing team in history, winning bronze in their first trip to Worlds (and all the other numerous medals they have won). That they are siblings didn't keep them from succeeding. And if something is stopping them from being even more successful from now on, it's not because they're brother and sister.
P.S. Shaw must be forgiven for seeing sex in places where there is none, after all, he was married to a woman who wouldn't put out.
I know! Alex could be a client whose eye is caught by one prostitute in particular. She is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. But, unbeknownst to him, she is his very own sister in disguise! WHAT A HILARIOUS COMEDY OF ERRORS!
Why are we talking about the Tango when the next two SDs are the Yankee Polka and the Finnstep?
Because it's cited as one of the things the Shibs cannot do and will thus never get anywhere further in ice dancing.
