This season, Higase-Chen will be skating to “Fantasy on Ice” performed by Sarah Alainn and composed by Maxime Rodriguez for her short program.

“Mark Mitchell helped put the music together and Jamie Isley choreographed it,” she said. “It is hauntingly beautiful, and I really like the choreography!”

Lori Nichol choreographed her new free skate to a dark flamenco instrumental called “Los Moros” by Gino D’Auri.

“This was mixed with a violin instrumental called “Asturias” performed by Angie Violinist and composed by Isaac Albeniz,” Higase-Chen shared. “I love the theme and feel of the free skate. ‘Los Moros’ translates to ‘The Moors.’ I spent some time in Granada, Spain, where there is an old Moorish palace called the Alhambra. The free skate reminds of that beautiful area!”

What a great read! She has had a ton of life- and skating experiences. Also the chance tp work with a slew of top coaches. I couldn't help but wonder if Eddie Shipstad is a relative (great-grandson?) of the figure skating hall of famer of the same name who basically invented the touring ice show concept in the 1920s.

I can't wait to see Logan's costume for next season. I hope she goes full Al-hambra. The decorations on this architectural marvel are what inspired the mathematical art of that unique srtist Escher.
