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 157 Timing Skaters should demonstrate the ability to perform all the steps on time throughout the entire pattern dance. For dances at STAR 2 & 3 level, two timing errors are permitted, per assessment, for the Timing requirement to be successful. Dances at the STAR 4 and higher levels, one timing error is permitted, per assessment, for the Timing requirement to be successful. A timing error is defined as steps performed that do not match the musical timing identified. These steps may not exceed 25% of a pattern/sequence. Each pattern dance assessment sheet identifies the number of steps permitted in one timing error per pattern/sequence located in the Timing Error box. Steps in the timing error allotment may be either consecutive or non￾consecutive. If a timing error exceeds the identified number of steps, the timing requirement would be unsuccessful. If a skater has a timing error in the first pattern/sequence and another timing error in the second pattern/sequence, this would be considered two timing errors. Examples for the Ten-Fox: Timing Error: No more than 4 steps off time in a pattern/sequence. Successful Timing Requirement: • Skater is off time for steps 1-4 on first pattern/sequence then remains on time for remainder of the assessment (one timing error) • First sequence/pattern is on time. Skater is off time for steps 3-4 and 8-9 in second pattern/sequence only (one timing error, total of four steps off time); remainder of dance is on time. Unsuccessful Timing Requirement: • Skater is off time for steps 3-9 on first pattern/sequence (off time for seven steps which is greater than the maximum of four steps allowed for a timing error) • Skater is off time for steps 1-2, 7-9, and 18 on second pattern/sequence (total number of steps off time is greater than the maximum of four steps permitted for a timing error) • Skater is off time for steps 15-18 in first and second pattern/sequence (repeated timing error) • Skater is off time for steps 1-3 in first pattern/sequence and 7-9 in second pattern/sequence (two timing errors) Timing must be marked “Yes” for all levels for the Mandatory Requirements to marked as successful.
