Ice dancing originally evolved from ballroom dance, and the compulsory dances (aka pattern dance) still emulate popular ballroom dances like the waltz, tango, cha cha, foxtrot, and swing; and also include more popular dance styles including the two step and blues!

Our Thursday Night Dance Session is what's called a Program Dance Session and concentrates on these compulsory dances (aka pattern dances) of which there are 34 dances spread across 8 Levels from Preliminary to Gold, and International.

Unlike ballroom dancing, Ice dancing can be done solo or with a partner. In addition to just skating them for fun, you can also choose to test and/or compete in ice dance - solo or partnered.
