1- Technical Skating Skills: simplicity, flow, flexibility, sureness, edge quality; the ability to vary skating speed & directions;�
alternating varied expressive & innovative movements; the order of the elements in the program;
the use of the skating surface & space; style; quality & difficulty of the elements.
2. Presentation: interpretation of the music and the rhythm; musical timing and understanding of the musical phrase;
the use of the whole body in order to achieve artistic & musical expression; creativity;
choreography & distribution of the elements; varying speed, tension, emotion and movement; proper music choice;
