Disciplines
Single skating is where individual creativity shines through in the art of freeskate. It’s the most recognised form of our sport, showcasing personal style and athleticism on the ice.
Two skaters join forces here to create a mesmerizing display of teamwork and skill. From lifts to throws, this discipline combines the beauty of technical ability and collaboration.
Inspired by ballroom dancing, ice dance blends rhythm, athleticism and elegance, allowing skaters to express themselves through captivating performances set to some of your favourite songs. You can compete in Ice Dance as a couple or solo.
Synchronized skating, or “synchro,” is a dynamic team discipline where groups of eight or more skaters move as one, executing beautifully fluid circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections to music. Open to all ages and skill levels, it celebrates unity and teamwork on and off the ice.
This discipline allows skaters to show their artistry through movement, creativity, projection, and musicality.
