I wanted to start a thread where we can all share our suggestions for skating programs. I think this would be a great resource for all of us as both coaches and skaters seeking music.

My goal is to compile a list that includes as much of the following information as can be provided:

Song:
Artist:
Album:
Length:
Tempo:
Vocal or instrumental:
Suggested level & age group:

My dd was looking for something sultry for her new novice short program and found an instrumental version of "Feeling Good" Very sultry and skatable.

I think she's going through a "thing" - she skated to a sultry version of "What are you doing New Year's Eve" for the Holiday Gala. Oh well, better to get it out on the ice, I say

Two songs our families always thought would be fun to see at an ISI competition..

Total Eclipse of the Heart! (bonnie Tyler) Its so cute and they keep saying turn around..

Then Xanadu (like from the roller skate movie) It would be cute to see someone skate to it. (olivia newton john)

If you have a song that you like, but don't want to skate to it because everyone and their mother has skated to it, you can go to pandora.com, put in the name of the song, and they play a whole bunch of other songs similar to the song or artist you entered, and you can purchase the song if you like, or just bookmark it and download it on your own. There are certain restrictions, like you can't go back and play a song, and you can only skip 6 songs an hour, but its' not that bad. One of my friends teaches belly dancing, and she found a bunch of other songs to use for her class when she got tired of the same old.

Another great resource:
