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.

Dance Assessment Resource Guide February 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 13 STAR 1 Dance - Elements Element CONTENT Forward Slide Chassés Definition: A forward slide chassé is the same as a chassé except that on the second step the free foot slides off the ice in front of the skating foot. The skater performs a blade push onto an outside edge, fully extending the free leg at a 30-degree angle (approx.), and then brings the free foot to step beside the skating foot to allow the inside foot to slide forward off the ice, reaching a fully extended position. The free foot then comes back to the skating foot to start the next step. Skaters must perform consecutive forward slide chassés around a full circle the approximate size of a hockey circle in both directions. Performance Example: Skaters will repeat the 2-step sequence described above around a circle (approximate size of a hockey circle) until they have completed a full circle in one direction. The skater will then perform forward slide chassés on the circle in the opposite direction. The skater’s upper body is rotated towards the centre of the circle with a strong core position. Arms are extended and placed over the circle. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element Forward Outside Swing Roll Sequence Definition: A forward roll held for several beats of music during which the free leg first swings backward, then forward and then back beside to skate the next step. The swing of the leg gives the sense of a rolling movement. The skater will use a blade push to push onto a forward outside edge on a bent skating knee, fully extending the free leg at a 30-degree angle behind. As the skater reaches the middle of the edge/roll, the skating knee will rise as the free leg comes forward to extend to the front. The roll is finished by bringing the feet together before performing the next step. Using an axis, skaters must perform a minimum of four consecutive forward outside swing rolls, two on each foot. Performance Example: The skaters will repeat the process listed above on a line or axis. The skater may start from a standstill or from forward skating and may choose the starting foot. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element
