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 14 STAR 1 Dance - Elements Element CONTENT Forward Outside Cross Rolls Definition: Rolling action of the free leg passing continuously the skating foot to the next outside curve. At the same time, the body weight transfers from one outside curve to the new outside curve to create a rolling movement. For forward cross rolls, the free foot passes the skating blade/foot and is placed on the ice in front of the skating blade/foot. FO cross rolls can be initiated from either an RFO or LFO edge. The free foot is extended behind the skater and internally rotates as it crosses the path of the skating foot to step on an outside curve on the opposite lobe. Once the weight is transferred to the other foot, the free leg is extended again. The skater must perform a cross roll on each foot. Each cross roll must be performed in isolation. Performance Example: From a standstill or skating, the skater will push onto a forward outside edge and perform a cross roll onto the opposite foot. The skater will then either stop and return to start, or allow a few skating steps to prepare for the next cross roll Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element
