Is this nice figure skating music? Non figure skaters- can you picture someone skating to this?

Question

song 1: vanessa mae - red hot

song 2: yann tiersan - comptine d'un autre ete

search them on youtube

Answer 1

song one is cool but not right for a program.

there is a very artistic skater at my rink doing a program to song 2. it is beautiful and is great for good spinners [biellmans and camels and layback look like art with this music] it is gorgeous but the only problem is to pull it off you have to be very artistic, because it is almost ballet-esqe [hehe if thats a word] because i know, like myself, i skate to more showy music, and some skaters like rocker music, and some skaters [like ones who should use this song] are like ballet when they skate, artistic and musically connected. this is a beautiful song, but if you are not one of those skaters i know of a guitar arrangement that could be cool if thats what youre into. fer sher go with song two!!!! song one is nice, but would be terrible difficult to choreograph and keep up with.

good luck on your program and happy skating!
