The rhythm dance event at the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics embraced a "1990s" musical theme, with figure skaters choosing iconic songs from that era. This directive resulted in performances set to a variety of hits, from boy bands to Eurodance.
Several teams opted for popular 1990s tracks, including three duos who skated to Ricky Martin's "Maria." Leaders Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron performed to Madonna's "Vogue," while three-time World Champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates skated to a medley of Lenny Kravitz songs.
Other standout performances featured Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier to a RuPaul and Right Said Fred mash-up, and Lilah Fair and Lewis Gibson paying tribute to the Spice Girls. Italian pair Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri skated to Backstreet Boys hits. The competition also saw a resolved copyright issue allowing a skater to use the Minions soundtrack. The figure skating competition continues with the free dance and other disciplines.
