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.

In order to be considered correct, the edge must also be held for the correct number of beats as prescribed in the rules for each pattern dance. A change of edge within the last ½ beat of the step is permitted to prepare the push/transition to the next step (unless otherwise prescribed). Correct Turn: Correct Turn means that the Turn has a correct foot placement, clean edge in and out of the Turn and is not jumped or scraped. For Twizzles, they must have the required number of rotations travelling on one foot and must not be performed as checked Three Turns or Pirouettes. In order to be considered correct, the turn must also be held for the correct number of beats as prescribed in the rules for each pattern dance. Correct Placement: The foot must be placed on the ice as described in the definition of the turn. Solo Ice Dance Steps: The required steps for Solo Ice Dance will be the same for all competitors. Depending on the dance, A-Steps (previously the Woman’s steps), B-Steps (previously Man’s steps) or a combination of both may be used. Refer to the Pattern Dance Diagrams for the Solo Ice Dance Steps to be skated for each dance. Note: All illegal elements apply to pattern dance introductions and exits.
