Are you a registered participant in the 2011-12 U.S. Figure Skating Solo Dance Series?
Yes, my Solo Dance Series Registration # is _____________________
No
Note: Skaters registered for the Solo Dance Series must compete at their registered level for the entire Solo
Dance Series season or your points will not count for this competition.
Determining Placement:
The chief referee has selected two pattern dances at random that skaters will compete at this event. A
combined score for the event will determine the final placement for the event. Skaters must compete in
both dances.
SHOWCASE:
The music is chosen by the skater based upon time restraints for their division. Theme is the skater’s choice for all divisions.
In this event, artistic feeling and presentation, along with creativity are more important, than technical skating. Jumps, spins and
footwork should be a part of the program. The program will be judged primarily on style and presentation of the theme. We
encourage each skater to be creative in his or her costume. Only hand held props will be allowed. Skaters placing fourth and
higher in Preliminary and higher artistic/showcase solo events including adult events may be qualified to enter the next U.S.
Figure Skating National Showcase. Please contact Paula Wagener (paulawagener58@gmail.com), Vice Chair for National
Showcase, for further information.
