They've got harmonization with ISU rules and a total restructuring of the dance tests.  No more silver samba on the third test.  Most people should find this easier.  I'm not sure how the choice of dances will work.  The ISA website is not yet updated.

Oh happy day! Now there's a chance of actually passing that level. I feel like I at least have some chance of getting European Waltz up to standard. Samba was never going to happen.

(Of course I have to pass the Preliminary edges test before I'm allowed to touch dance, so it's all a bit of a moot point at the moment).

I'm with you Bunnyhop.  Was NOT looking forward to trying to kick and stumble my way through the Samba, when it eventually loomed over the test horizon and stared me down (not that there was any risk of it looming any time soon, mind you).
