Ice Dance is a form of ballroom dancing on the ice. Skaters perform a variety of turns, steps, twizzles, spins and lifts. In ice dance, skaters must skate to music with a definite beat or rhythm which brings out the character and flavour of that particular dance.
Ice Dance now has two disciplines. To date Ice Dance has been performed as a couple with a female and male partner. However Solo Ice Dance has now become the latest figure skating discipline which allows skaters to perform ice dance without the need for a partner.
