Per tweets from Disson, today could be the day that they make a full announcement re the fifth show.

(Yesterday Disson had tweeted that "tomorrow" they hoped to do so.)

Could this be the ballroom/icedance show that Mathman requested, and Disson replied that they were ahead of him on that?

I hope so!

I am so happy that Lang/Tchernychev and Anissina/Peizerat, who are two of my favorite ice dancing teams will be in this show with my current favorites Davis/White. I was also hoping for Belbin/Agosto and the Kerrs to possibly be in the show, so I am thrilled about that, too!

This will be a 2nd attempt at "Shall We Dance on Ice" by Disson.
It was attempted back in Nov 2010 in Hamilton Ontario Canada and was aired on TV.
Unfortunately there was an attendance issue as it was in the middle of the week and IIRC was 2 days before a local club competition was taking place so local skaters could not miss their own training to go.

Very glad that "Shall We Dance?" will be back! Last season's show was terrific (with the exception of the inclusion of Bella Thorne @ the end. Her "singing" had no connection to the theme of the show. Thankfully, she was shown only in a very small part of the show). The dancing was delightful!
