3.Dance Twizzles
USFS website under Judging Systems, Rules/Clarifications, Ice Dancing dated 9-21-06
Updated Calling Specifications for Dance
The technical group has made the following clarifications below pertaining to the following ice dance events. These clarifications are effective immediately and will be adhered to during this year*s competitive season.
1.Juvenile and Intermediate Free Dance Synchronized Twizzle required element: In the event that a juvenile or intermediate dance couple executes a series of synchronized twizzles in place of the required element, a synchronized twizzle, only the first twizzle of the series will be called, using the criteria of ISU 1331. The steps following the first twizzle and the second twizzle of a series will not receive a level by the technical panel. Rather, the judges will consider the subsequent steps and twizzle as transitional elements and will include them in their determination of an appropriate mark under the component score for transitions and linking footwork.
2.Execution of incorrect type of lift (Juvenile and Intermediate Free Dance and Junior and Senior Original Free Dance): If a dance couple executes a 10 second category lift (e.g. serpentine, reverse rotational or combination lift) in a program in which such a lift is not permitted, the technical panel will call what they see. At the end of the program, the technical controller will verify that the element has been asterisked to ensure the element receives NO VALUE. If the lift was executed for longer than the permitted time (six seconds), the referee would take the 1.0 deduction for an extended lift.
