Potential Grand Prix Dance


There are 27 teams on this list, including several teams that competed junior this season. 

There are 48 Grand Prix slots (including host picks) with 39 of the 48 slots filled from this list.  Stepanova and Bukin have medaled at Junior Worlds twice and won gold this past year so likely will make the jump to senior.  Aldridge and Eaton have aged out of juniors and Papadakis and Cizeron have competed four seasons on the Junior Grand Prix so they will likely both be on the Senior Grand Prix as well.

The assignments will be released on June 1st.
