Guidelines for the Ice Dance Rhythm Dance season 2021/22

You know, I could see them rocking a WWII-era swing number, to the music of the Andrews sisters or something like that. With Paul in a sailor suit maybe and Piper in upswept hair and USO army khaki. They’d have to put the Midnight Blues in there somewhere, but it doesn’t need to spoil the fun

Deal me in!

For those who have never seen it, here is a link to the Andrews Sisters singing "Boogie Woogie Bugle boy": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8of3uhG1tCI.
And for the few oldies here who may remember some old stars of British comedy, here is a version done by Morecambe and Wise with Leonard Rossiter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKlkvzuv-G8.
My late wife who was from England was a great fan and introduced me to Morecambe and Wise as well as to Leonard Rossiter.

I see re-enactors do these types of tunes all the time at the Oshkosh flyin in the warbird area. Ann Landers once admitted she had no idea what "blowin' 8 to the bar" meant!!!!!

I can't help but think of a moody, pandemic blues leading into a street dance once we are all free from the virus...I hope someone can make this happen for me. I am hoping for the French to do this.

Musical question - is Summertime the right tempo for Midnight Blues?

Just wanted to thank all you folks who posted videos and pix bouncing off my swing idea for Gilles & Poirier. I thoroughly enjoyed them all and now, thanks to this Morecambe & Wise clip posted above, let me revise my costuming ideas a bit. Paul could do it in drag!
Now that would make everybody sit up and take notice. I dare you, Carol Lane.

I didn't see this one on the list from Isabella Tobias and Ilia Tkachenko. I enjoyed watching it and was sorry not to see them at the Olympics the following year.
