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.

Coverage, updates and corrections

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.

10. Falls and Illegal Elements / Movements Fall A fall is defined as loss of control by a skater with the result that the majority of his/her own body weight is on the ice supported by any other part of the body other than the blades e.g. hand(s), knee(s), back, buttock(s) or any part of the arm. Note: Kneeling on both knees will be considered a fall (unless it is identified as a sliding movement when allowed or when allowed in the Choreographic Character Step Sequence or CDE). Illegal Elements / Movements / Poses The following elements and movements are illegal in all Solo Ice Dance competitions: • Jumps of more than half (1/2) revolution (including Back Flips) • 2 or more consecutive ½ rotation jumps (jumps are not consecutive if there are two or more steps in- between. Steps to be counted as they are for Twizzles) • Lying or sitting on the ice (except where permitted) • Half rotation Jumps of any kind with more than 90 degree separation at the thighs. • Flying entries for Dance Spins • Illusions* of more than one rotation (one rotation equals one “down and up” motion of the upper body) • Touching the Ice on purpose with the hand(s) any time. (except where permitted for each season ie; ChSl, Chst, CDE for 2026/27) **Definition Illusion: Illusion - An Illusion is a spin that has a basic position similar to the camel, but instead of remaining "flat" throughout the duration of the spin, the skater's body tilts up and then down so the head is close to the ice with the boot of the free leg extended upwards, creating almost a full split, while the skater is spinning. Notes: • If there is an illegal element(s)/movement(s)/pose(s) anywhere in the program, it is identified and receives the appropriate deduction. If there is an illegal element(s)/movement(s)/pose(s) during the execution of any element, the element will receive a Level per the requirements performed or ignored if the minimum requirement for Basic Level is not fulfilled. • The same principle and deduction will apply to Choreographic Elements (Confirmed or Ignored + the deduction) The deduction for an Illegal Element/Movement (2.0) will apply for Junior and Senior, 1.0 for Novice categories. • Any feature that contains, or is considered an illegal element, that feature will not be considered for level. 24
