Explore learning programmes and tests across fifteen countries. Read published elements, compare pathways and search the official evidence in one place.
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.

Group C – (Upper Body, Entry and Exit)
1. Additional Twizzle: At least 3 rotations, performed correctly, started with a different entry edge from any
of the required Twizzles (whether two or three) and preceded by a maximum of one step for Set of
Sequential Twizzles and for a Set of Solo Twizzles.
2. Dance Jump: the entry edge for the Twizzle will be determined by the landing edge of the Dance Jump.
• Entry to the first or second Twizzle (applicable for Junior/Senior RD and Junior/Senior FD)
• Entry to the third Twizzle (applicable for Senior FD)
3. One Foot with a Change of Direction: Two Twizzles performed on one foot without a change of foot,
with no limit on turns or movements performed on one foot between the required Twizzles;
• Junior/Senior Rhythm Dance - between the first and second twizzle and between the second
and third twizzle
• Junior Free Dance - between the second and third twizzle
• Senior Free Dance - between the second and third twizzle and between the third and fourth
Twizzle
4. Set of Twizzles immediately performed directly after entry movements/steps which are at least one of
the following: creative, difficult, complex, unexpected.
5. Core of body: shifted off the vertical axis.
NOTES ON ADDITIONAL FEATURES
1. A Feature may be performed in any Required Twizzle but will only count when done correctly the first time.
2. A chosen Additional Feature from Groups A and B, including the Group C “Core of body off axis” shall be
considered for a Level if it is fully achieved and established: within the first half rotation of the Twizzle and
held until the number of rotations needed for that Level is fully completed (2 rotations for Level 2, 3 rotations
for Level 3, 4 rotations for Level 4).
3. There is no limit on turns or movements performed on one foot on the change of foot or the steps between
required Twizzles. Any number of connecting turns after the Twizzle rotations considered for level, including
additional single Twizzle(s), performed in the same spinning direction (i.e a single Twizzle repeated multiple
times).
4. Group C Additional Twizzle - If more than one step is performed prior to the “Additional Twizzle” feature, it is
no longer considered for Level.
5. Any change of weight when on two feet between Twizzles will be considered a step.
6. In a Set of Twizzles to achieve the “C” Feature of ‘Two twizzles performed on one foot without change of
foot, with no limits on turns or movements, performed on one foot between Twizzles.
• When this C feature is permitted, the requirement to be considered is that there are at least three
completed rotations during the Twizzle immediately following the execution of this feature.
• If, in addition, the “Additional Twizzle” feature is also performed with at least three rotations AND is
executed correctly, then the Technical Panel should also consider this as an additional “C” feature
for Level.
The “C” feature(s) attempted in the RD cannot be repeated in the FD for Level and will be ignored by the
Technical Panel. This applies even if the features were not given credit for Level in the RD.
