Young figure skaters allowed to go gangsta.

Hip hop is probably not the music which springs to mind when you think of ice dancing. But now junior teams have been allowed to include hip hop in their short dances, but only if there’s no swearing in the lyrics.

­The decision was announced by chairperson of the ISU Ice Dance Technical Committee Halina Gordon-Poltorak at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus.

"It must have a clear rhythm,"
the official added.

The young figure skaters can pair hip hop with blues and swing rhythms, with two sequences of blues pattern dance mandatory in the program.

"And we do not want to hear any obscenities," Bob Horen, Committee member, is cited by Icenetwork.com as insisting. "Your coaches should check the lyrics."

The hip hop amnesty is seen as part of the ISU's efforts to attract a younger audience to figure skating.

One of the issues on the agenda of the organization’s June congress in Kuala Lumpur is the possible use of music with lyrics in competitive programs for all the sport’s disciplines – singles, pairs and dance.

BitterDer p,

Somehow I agree but will you learn? idiotic liberals like you hardly learn anyway so Go on you Negro-worshipping Niggher wannabe Wigger, swagger with your pants hanging down exposing your @ss and as a White Monkey learn to grow a tail also, I'd rather be a caveman than be a jungle bunny like you and enjoy rock, classical, folk and yes yodelling music than listen to your Garbage-jungle cacophony of a music.

I don't blame you after all you're the Victim of jewtube brainwashing designed to make you despise your rich history and culture for a backward primitive apish lifestyle. 
 
Ob viously most of you are just a bunch of jealous rascists. The world is globalised now, so please wake up to this reality. If you don't like it the way it is, go commit suicide or something, and get it over with. But whether racist folks like you acknowledge it or not, the truth is - We Are Here To Stay & Dominate, in; Sports Enterta inment Culture Edu cation Technology, and even Politics! Whe ther you like it or not, you don't have a choice in the matter. Its either you go Black or you go bLANK! Haaaa...Haaa .... You can do the cheap name calling if you want, it won't alter the reality or truth, that we're here to stay and dominate. So please keep calling me an Ape or a Chimp. It does'nt change a thing, it only shows how angry you are. Keep it up, but know that one day this animal (you see us as) will shed and pasture the shepard (you)!!!!!!!!!!
