Skate Canada has just released a list of approved contemporary music for pattern dances for testing and comps. Beyond my hysterical laughter at the idea that Tom Jones performing Whats New Pussy Cat (for the Golden Waltz) is contemporary ... I am not sure about it. Do I really want my little kid testing a Swing to Single Ladies ...
Here is a sampling. It goes all the way up to our Diamond Dances ... it is optional, but, I have already heard it in use. And of course they did specify only non-explicit versions!
