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.

Dance Assessment Resource Guide February 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 155 Program Content (Gold Rhythm Dance only) There are defined required elements that must be included in the dance that must be successfully completed. These are the mandatory requirements for the Gold Rhythm Dance. The program content is a variety of dance elements to be performed within the program to highlight the skater’s skills and abilities. Each required element must meet the definition of the element (outlined in the content section) to receive an assessment of Silver or better. For example, a spin with less than three revolutions would receive an automatic Bronze assessment. Order of Elements It is strongly recommended that skaters submit the planned order of the required elements. The Assessment Coordinator will ensure this information is provided to the evaluator prior to the assessment. If the program contains additional elements the skater may indicate which are to be assessed. For example, if the program contains two spins, they may indicate which is to be assessed as the Dance Spin. Planned Program Sheet Example: 1. Transition – Step Sequence 2. Pattern Dance Element 3. Dance Spin 4. Step Sequence 5. Transition - Field Move If the order is not indicated and the program contains more than one element that meets the definition of the required elements, then only the first executed will be assessed. For example, if the program contains two spins that meet the definition, then the first executed will be assessed as the Dance Spin. There is space on the assessment sheet to note the element performed and the overall element assessment.
