WHAT ELEMENTS CAN YOU DO OR HAVE MASTERED IN YOUR DISCIPLINE?

[FSWer]

Ok my Skater Friends...What elements can you all do (or have mastered) in your Disciplines? For eg...do you have your Spiral? If you do Ice-Dance..have you and your Partner mastered a carry (LOL. it would be easier for me to ask you about that if I knew if there are indervisual elements in Ice-Dancing). For Pairs...eg. do you and your Partner have a Death-Spiral? If you do more then one Discipline,please include what you have mastered in all.

@FSWer skating includes a lot of elements, even at beginner levels, so to list all of them would take a very long time - especially for people who do more than one discipline.

People generally use their test level or the test they are working on, to indicate their skating skills without having to list every single one of them.

Not to mention that there's a big difference in the levels of skills needed for acccomplishing certain moves. A skater can learn a basic spiral fairly early in their training once they are comfortable skating on either foot and doing edges. But for ice dancers, very few skaters achieve the level in ice dance required to do lifts and carries unless they've been skating for many years.

And please remember, not all ice dancing is done with partners. Solo ice dance is gaining in popularity and quite a few people ice dance without partners.
