STARSkate Tests

Skaters working through the STARskate system will complete tests in 4 areas:

* DANCE - usually the first tests a skater will complete. Each dance is a prescribed pattern of steps that the skater must learn and master. 3 - 4 dances must be completed successfully at each level.

* SKILLS - focus on edges , turns, and control in footwork. Each test consists of 3 prescribed exercises which must be successfully completed to earn the level. Generally skaters will have been skating for some time prior to beginning work on the tested exercises.

* FREESKATE - usually the second or third test skaters begin work on. Each level has a set of skills that are mandatory to complete the level, but also, once they have completed it, they must compete at that level in STARskate competitions and there are certain skills they will be expected to have in their solo. Freeskate tests are in 2 parts - a set of elements, done in isolation and a freeskate program.

* INTERPRETIVE - a program that focuses on the artistic expression of the music, rather than elements (jumps, spins, etc.). Most skaters will have good general skating skills and strong footwork and field moves before beginning to work on Interpretive programs and tests.
