How to use this

Start with a country, a beginner programme or an element. Open a level to read its collected requirements. Expand programme stages to see the exercises inside.

Try double Axel or three turn in the search box. Results show available definitions and matching evidence; not every question can be answered from the collection.

Compare programmes with similar purposes, then inspect their stages and requirements. Similar content does not mean the tests have the same difficulty or that one qualification transfers to another country.

Follow source links to check the original context. Where saved documents are available, you can read them here. Documents keep their dates; translations may be working translations rather than official wording.

This is a growing collection, not every requirement from every country. Missing results can mean missing or untranslated evidence, not that a skill is absent from a country’s programme. Read the coverage notes before drawing conclusions.

This is a growing reference, not a complete collection of every test. Material may be partial, historical or a working translation. No match does not mean a country does not teach an element.

Reference presentation updated . This is not a claim that every source was checked on that date. Individual documents retain their own dates and limitations.

The Rhythm Dance for the 2025/2026 season takes inspiration from the high energy and entertaining dance styles from this decade.

Notes: - Remixed and/or remastered music, including cover versions, is permitted. - Music created via AI in the “Style of 1990’s” is also permitted. - The skater should demonstrate through dance movements the feeling/essence and dance style(s) from this decade. - The Rhythm Dance should NOT be skated in the style of a Free Dance. - To comply with the ethical values of sports, any music chosen for Ice Dance competitions must not include aggressive and/or offending lyrics. Vocal music is permitted, and the music may be without a rhythmic beat for up to 10 seconds at the beginning of the program. Edge Element One (1) Short Edge Element, but no more.
