Yes, the original plan was skating to Cinderella (was she working with Wilson for the program? I think so). But due to copyright issue, she could not skate to it. Now she will get a new FS from Kenji Miyamoto. Hopefully this will not disrupt much her preparation for moving up to Sr.Looks like Ami Nakai will have to change her FS because of copyright reasons

FD: The Giving
I know solo dance isn’t huge yet so we probably don’t need to log the programs, but she just switched over and was a really promising junior that unfortunately couldn’t get her jumps right after injury
she’s such a beautiful skater and worth the watch

So sad. Ami loved that program.
It's from a Disney movie. According to Madeline Schizas, they wanted a lot of money in order for her to keep the Lion King. I'm not surprised Ami is getting a new program instead.

Mmmm. Could be good, could be same old same old. I guess they are trying to go for some safe heat, as the Olympic season is not the time to experiment. I hope they will, at least, be more adventurous with their RD music choices.

Nothing on the exact pieces of music, but Chock/Bates are going to have a contemporary flamenco program for their FD.
Anything yet from Piper & Paul?
ETA: Antonio Najarro working with them bodes extremely well, so it may be a solid choice that they are both excited and comfortable with bringing to the ice in an interesting way.

Ironically, The Lion King itself was considered a plagiarism of Kimba the White Lion from the time of its release.

I was just coming to post this link! You beat me to it.
This looks very intricate, and I am intrigued. I haven't seen anything like this from them previously. This will melt the ice in Milan if they embrace the sensuality. I bet she presents well beyond her spectacular standard.

Hi @TontoK, yeah this new Flamenco FD does look to be taking an interesting, different approach for C/B, despite the fact that it is a traditional latin dance. They have done generic, abstract, new and different with the edgy snake program, safe & contemporary, and now with this new Latin-inspired FD, they seem to be bringing back traditional ballroom, with a fresh, edgy flair. We'll see how it turns out.
FYI-- it was @ramurphy2005 who first linked the IG post by Najarro earlier in this thread. I think Madison has followed up with a post on her IG.
On further reflection, I think C/B are consummate pros, and they're so experienced and confident. I was not excited about their past season's programs. However, both programs were okay and improved over the course of the season. And truthfully, at the major comps, when it counted, C/B absolutely delivered. They have been the beneficiaries this quad of other top teams having retired, and I think the politics seems to be in their favor going into 2025-26 season. For sure, C/B's entire career and potential to rise was completely jump-started when they were accepted by IAM and given programs by Marie-France that brought out something unique that enhanced them. Since then, trying to find amazing material season-after-season has been an up-and-down adventure.
I am interested in seeing a real battle at the top in ice dance. I hope Piper/Paul bring something special to the ice, and I look forward to seeing what Laurence/ Cizeron and the Shibs can do in the Olympic season as well. Also, it would be great to see Tim/Olivia come with another dramatic, entertaining FD to secure their rise to the top. Of course, with the Olympics in Milan, Guignard/ Fabbri will be trying their best to make the podium. They are very good technically, but I think there are so many other more interesting and aesthetically talented teams than G/F.

My apologies for not crediting @ramurphy2005 for the original find. It was an unintentional oversight. Like you, I enjoy acknowledging the first person who shares something interesting.
I'm already looking forward to this program in a way I never did Take Five. Don't get me wrong - it was skated very well, and they deserved the WC, no question in my mind. But I didn't connect the same way I did with some other material they've delivered. Just not my cup of tea, but there weren't really ANY programs except Dune that really captured my attention last season. It was a blah year.

It's not even my original find. Someone else noticed first elsewhere on the internet, and I just brought it here.

I totally agree with you that last year's ice dance programs were rather ho-hum, aside from some of the junior ice dance teams, Olivia/Tim's Dune, and perhaps Orihara/Pirinen's FD. Lajoie/ Lagha's Sound of Silence was well-skated but lacked excitement and spark. Some people really enjoy French team, Lopareva/ Brissaud's aesthetic. I am not that enamored, but they are good. In addition, U.S. teams had some fairly interesting, well-delivered programs, including Car/Pom's Carmen, Green/ Parson's Dance Me To the End of Love, and the Browns, IMO, had two good programs (RD to James Brown, and FD to The Who).
Also, I must say that former rising U.S. team, Flores/ Desyatov had an absolutely boffo, standing ovation worthy FD to Poor Things soundtrack, choreographed by Kaitlyn Weaver. Costumes, choreo, and performance rizz were absolutely star-making. That amazing FD was gonna build over the course of last season if they'd had a chance to perform it more than twice pre-season. IMO, F/D's Poor Things FD was inspired and right up there in quality with Smart/ Dieck's Dune program.
