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 40 STAR 5B Dance - Elements Element CONTENT Backward Progressive - Swing Roll Sequence Definition: The skater may gain speed before commencing this sequence. Start the sequence with a LBO progressive exiting on a LBO edge (LBO, RBI-Pr, LBO edge) with a timing count of 1+1+2. The skater will then bring their feet together before performing an RBO-SwR with the free foot behind for 2 counts on a bent skating knee and then rise up as the free foot passes to the back and hold for 2 counts (2+2). Repeat this sequence. Using an axis, skaters must perform a minimum of four consecutive roll sequences, two on each foot. 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 to then perform the roll sequence in the opposite direction and foot. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element Ten-Fox Progressive Definition: A Ten-Fox progressive is performed exactly like forward progressives except for the upper body position. For this progressive the upper body will be externally rotated to face outside of the circle with the left arm in front and the right arm behind. This progressive is only performed CCW (LFO – RFI-Pr). The skater must perform a minimum of ½ of a circle of this element. Performance Example: To introduce this skill to the skater, the skater will perform this skill on a circle the approx. size of a hockey circle. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element LFO Cross Behind Definition: The LFO cross behind step is initiated by an LFO edge with the free leg fully extended behind the skater. The right foot then draws toward the skating foot to cross behind (inside the lobe) to step on an RFI edge. The left free foot then extends to the front before coming back beside the skating foot in preparation for an LFO edge (neat feet). Only one LFO Cross Behind will 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
