| Standard Tests |
All Compulsory Dance Tests; all are taken with a
partner (some require a solo demonstration in
addition to the partnered patterns). These tests are
taken to qualify for standard competition levels.
Each full level (Preliminary, PreBronze, etc) must
be completed before any test from higher level may
be taken. Tests within a level may be taken in any
order (TR 40.00). |
| Solo Dance Tests |
Same tests as Standard Tests, but taken without
a partner. Tests in this stream do not qualify the
skater for qualifying competition levels. Tests
passed in this stream do not qualify the skater for
attempting higher level Standard (partnered) tests.
Skaters may however take Solo Dance Tests at the
level that they have completed in the partnered
tests or they may go back to the beginning of the
solo dance tests (TR 40.02a, 45.01) |
| Adult Dance Tests |
Same tests as Standard Tests. All are skated
with a partner only (TR 43.04). Skaters must have
attained the age of 21 or more (TR 40.01a). Tests
passed in this stream do not qualify the skater for
attempting higher level Standard tests. |
| Masters Dance Tests |
Same tests as Standard Tests. All are skated
with a partner only (TR 43.04) Skaters must have
attained the age of 50 or more (TR 40.01b). Tests
passed in this stream do not qualify the skater for
attempting higher level Standard or Adult tests.
Masters tests have lower "Passing Marks" than
Standard Tests at the same level. |
| Free Dance Tests |
Free Dance tests MAY be taken upon the
completion of equivalent level Compulsory Dance
tests, but no Free Dance test is a pre-requisite to
any Compulsory Dance test. Free Dance tests and
Moves in the Field tests are required to qualify for
dance competition at Regionals and above. (TR
50.01) |
