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.

Dance Assessment Resource Guide February 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 25 STAR 3B Dance - Elements Element CONTENT Backward Outside Swing Roll Sequence Definition: A backward roll held for several beats of music during which the free leg lifts and then swings forward, then backward past the skating foot, then back beside to skate the next step. The swing of the leg gives the sense of a rolling movement. The skater will push onto a backward outside edge on a bent skating knee, fully extending the free leg to the front. As the skater reaches the middle of the edge/roll, the skating knee will rise as the free leg extends behind at an approximate 30-degree angle. The roll is finished by bringing the feet together before performing the next step. Using an axis, skaters must perform a minimum of four consecutive backward swing rolls, two on each foot. Performance Example: Skaters will repeat the process listed above on a line using the width of the ice. The skater may start from backward skating and may choose starting foot. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element Forward Inside Open C Steps Definition: SWING: The forward inside open C step for the Swing Dance is executed on a RFI edge with full extension of the free foot held behind the skater. The skater will then bring the heel of the free foot to the inner side of the skating foot before transferring the weight onto an LBI edge with the right free leg then fully extending behind the skater. The timing for this C step is 2 beats on the RFI edge and 2 beats on the LBI edge. FIESTA: The forward inside open C step for the Fiesta Dance is executed on an RFI edge with full extension of the free foot held behind the skater. The skater will then bring the heel of the free foot to the inner side of the skating foot before transferring the weight onto a LBI edge with the right free leg then staying close to the skating leg in preparation for the next step which would be a RBO edge. The timing for this C step is 1 beat on the RFI edge and 1 beat on the LBI edge. The skater must perform one of each C step. Performance Example: The skater may start with skating as they prepare to perform each of the two C steps identified above. The skater may restart or perform a series of skating steps between the C steps. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element STAR 3B Dance - Elements Element CONTENT
