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 41 STAR 5B Dance - Elements Element CONTENT FO Cross Rolls Definition: FO cross rolls can be initiated from either an RFO or 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 curve on the opposite lobe. Once the weight is transferred to the other foot, the free leg is extended again and repeats the same action, thus creating a rolling feeling from one edge to the other. The skater must demonstrate a minimum of 4 consecutive cross rolls (2 on each foot). 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 Cross Roll, Three-Turn Definition: The FO cross roll three-turn is executed by a FO edge on either foot with the free leg extended behind the skater. 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 curve on the opposite lobe. The skater will rise up on the skating knee as they bring their free foot to the skating foot while performing the three-turn. The feet will remain close together as the skater transfers their weight to the BO edge of the free foot. Once the weight is transferred the free foot will then fully extend forward. The skater will perform an RFO cross roll/three-turn as well as an LFO cross roll/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 to then perform the element in the opposite direction and foot. Mandatory Requirement: - Meet the definition of the element BO Rolls Definition: A roll is a short or long, forward or backward edge skated on a curve. BO rolls start on a BO edge with the free leg extended fully in front. As the skater prepares for the next roll, they will draw their free foot towards their skating foot and step closely beside it onto the new edge, changing the lean towards the new lobe. During these rolls the skating knee will remain bent. For proper technique execution, ensure the free foot does not pass the skating foot. The skater must demonstrate a minimum of 4 consecutive rolls (2 on each foot). 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
