We will have one compulsory dance in both Junior and Senior Couples and Solo Dance events at the World Championships, and will replace the Original Dance with “Style Dance” which will include one sequence of a compulsory dance within it, and two sequences of a compulsory dance if it is a half-pattern dance.
For 2016 the dances will be as follows and each year CIPA will announce the Musical Theme and the dance/s to be included.
2016 – Junior Couples – “Swing Medley” to include 2 sequences of the Rocker Foxtrot. The Compulsory Dance to be skated will be Flirtation Waltz.
2016 – Senior Couples – “Swing Medley” to include 2 sequences of the Quickstep. The Compulsory Dance to be skated will be Starlight Waltz.
2016 – Junior Solo – “Classic Medley” to include one sequence of the Flirtation Waltz. The Compulsory Dance to be skated will be Rocker Foxtrot.

Please find within this announcement the details required in the Style Dance for Couples and the details for Solo.
Also included are the new Rules for Free Dance Couples, and for Solo Dance.
PLEASE WOULD FEDERATIONS MAKE SURE THEIR COACHES, JUDGES, AND SKATERS ARE AWARE OF THESE DETAILS FOR 2016.
I thank the Dance Commission for all their work over the last 18 months – a really big job, taking up so much of their time – Lorenza Residori, Hugo Chapouto, Marie Gaudy, Sandro Guerra.
