Element study guides

Connect a rule or protocol call to a specific performance. These free guides explain how to read the examples, what the available evidence supports, and where a comparison can be misleading. Each guide includes its sources and coverage limits.

Senior ice dance twizzles, 2025–26

Compare scored twizzle examples in the covered archive. Read the partners’ levels separately, distinguish level from GOE, and use the linked program context before interpreting a ranking.

Level 4 rotational lifts

Study examples carrying a Level 4 rotational-lift call. Separate the technical panel’s difficulty decision from the judges’ assessment of execution, and check the applicable season’s requirements.

Triple Axel examples by skater

Read triple Axel calls alongside their protocol context. The guide explains why rotation calls, combinations, falls, and segment coverage matter when comparing attempts from different skaters.

Waltz pattern dance reference

Explore waltz dances by level, rhythm, tempo, and pattern. Use the catalog to find a dance to study, then consult the source chart for its steps and the current rules for its use in a test or competition.

Pattern dance key points explained

Understand what a key-point call records and why a short video alone may not establish the required edge, turn, or timing. Follow the worked reading method before drawing conclusions from a protocol.
