Synchronized Skating consists of a group of 8 to 24 skaters who learn, practice and perform a choreographed routine set to music at either (United States Figure Skating Association) and/or (Ice Skating Institute) competitions. These choreographed routines consist of lines, blocks, circles, pinwheels and intersections, which incorporate forward and backward skating, footwork, turns and edges, to complement the theme of their music. Synchronized Skating Teams strive to execute these maneuvers with power, speed, grace, finesse and most important of all unison. |
