ISI Ice Dance
Structure
The
international Ice Skating Institute has established a skills level structure
especially for ice dance. As skaters progress through each level, they refine
their skills as well as their appreciation for the beauty and challenge of this
sport.
Ice
dancing requires a wonderful combination of grace and form, skating skills, and
musical appreciation. Tempo, lilt, patterns, flow, footwork, posture, edging,
expression, partnering, etc., are essential elements of ice dancing. It's also
a low-impact alternative for those who wish to improve their skating skills
without jumping.
