Classic contemporary or rock.?

Question

what are some good figure skating songs to skate to? i dont want any thing that is over used or used alot. plz help me

Answer 1

Judges LOVE classical, stick with that. Anything from Vanessa Mae is awesome like the other person said. It's temporary/classical violin music.  Visit You tube it to hear some of her music. Anything from John Williams is good too. He has composed many of the most famous film scores that are great to skate to. And yes, AVOID, Phantom of the Opera, WAY OVER USED! Good Luck!

Answer 2

go w/ CLASSICAL!!! judges really like classical!!!

Answer 3

You can't really go wrong with anything classical.  I know usually when people thing classical music, they think boring, but if you choose something catchy or something that is maybe used more commercially, people don't mind it as much -- and you don't either.  Check iTunes or CD's at the library for ideas.  I have found a few ideas in stuff by Andre Rieu.  His orchestra does a lot of Strauss stuff, but it's all very lively and has a little more kick.  My personal favorite of his right now is his version of the "Second Waltz," but another girl at my rink is using it now. :(

Here's an idea....I used this music for one of my skaters -- and choreographed it just before she quit skating....she chose "Clocks" done by the 12 Girls Band.  It's a re-make of Coldplay's song, but it's really cool...no words...with an Asian flare.  Or what about "Warm Air" by Vanessa Mae?  It's very pretty -- also music I cut for a friend who no longer is skating (maybe me cutting people's skating music is bad karma!).  It's pretty, sort of ghostly and a little meloncholy, but it's different.  That stuff is a little more obscure, so you don't have to worry so much about waiting for your turn to compete or test and hearing 4 skaters in your group before you skate to the same stuff.....happened to me....don't skate to "Phantom of the Opera!"  hahaa  :)

Answer 4

Rolling Stones can be good if you have good choreography.
