Different people have different goals. Though some ladies are seeking dance partnerships, there are plenty of solo ice dancers who are not, including those at high levels. For a single/solo skater, whether in freestyle or in dance, your time is your own. Please don’t be sad for solo ice...

Yes, the choreography is modified for the solo Golden Waltz pattern dance. U.S. Figure Skating had Golden Waltz as a pattern dance at the National Solo Dance Final competition in 2021. There are no dips for the women, but all the skaters skate the same woman’s step in the Golden Waltz. There are...

There might be a misunderstanding since I don't know the family either and I wasn't there. It was a comment from a friend who was at Dallas. I was excited by the possibility of such partnership. Sorry about this.

From a friend who attended Dallas Classic, this is a family of 3 girls and 1 boy. I didn't realize girl/girl dance partnership for competition was allowed, but do think it's cool.

ISU Communication No. 2239 states that for Choreographic Character Step Sequence that it: “Must be placed around the Short Axis (within 10 meters on either side of the Short Axis) and must proceed from barrier to barrier.” I don’t think the “10 meters” is from the barrier, but from the middle...

Nguyen & Kolesnik are now listed as competing at Junior at the Chesapeake Open. It must be a recent addition.

This passed by the Governing Council, right? I think I'm reading ISU Communication No. 2159 correctly... jumps of one or more revolutions are allowed, and one or more skaters has to do the jump for it to be counted as a feature.

That must be neat to see live. I recall only seeing some videos of some synchro team in which everyone did a single jump. I don't think one-rotation jumps are common. I've met synchro skaters who never had any desire to compete in singles free skate, and vice versa. It's for various reasons...

I appreciate the information and your thoughts on this. I think it's a wait and see now for us. I think my daughter will enjoy synchro with or without the jumps.

Thank you so much! I guess we'll wait and see.

Does anyone know where I can find information about jumps that may be allowed in synchronized skating competitions for the 2018-2019 season in the U.S.? I can’t seem to locate them in my online search. My daughter thought getting back into synchronized skating next season would be fun and go...

I’ve seen many moves and pattern dance tests by my girls as well as other skaters, including those with falls and other errors. Of these, some were asked to reskate and others not. Thus, keeping going. My little one had plenty of falls during her moves tests, some of which she was asked to...
