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 26 RFO Cross Roll, Cross Behind Definition: The RFO cross roll, cross behind is executed from an LFO edge. The free foot is extended behind the skater and internally rotates as it crosses the path of the skating foot to step on an outside edge. Once the weight is transferred to the right foot, the left foot can either be extended behind or raised up behind the skating leg to be brought back in to step on an LFI edge. This cross behind should be tight (feet close together). While on the LFI edge, the right foot should be fully extended in front of the skater. Only one RFO cross roll, cross behind is to be performed. Performance Example: The skater may start with skating as they prepare to perform the element identified above. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element FO Three-turn, BO Edge Definition: The FO three-turn, BO edge is executed from a FO edge on with the free foot fully extended behind the skater on a bent skating knee. The skating knee will rise as the free foot moves towards the skating foot to perform the three-turn. The feet will remain close together as the skater transfers their weight to the BO edge of the new skating foot. Once the weight is transferred the free foot will then fully extend forward. The skater will perform this element twice, once starting with a RFO three-turn and again starting with a LFO three-turn. Performance Example: The skater may start with skating as they prepare to perform the element identified above. The skater may restart or perform a series of skating steps between the three-turns. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element
