About the Program

Starskate is Skate Canada’s Figure Skating program designed to introduce skaters to a series of evaluation and performance opportunities as they progress through 10 Star levels to their Gold tests.  There are four disciplines in Starskate which are designed to help develop a well rounded skater.

Freeskate– Jumps, spins and performance programs

Dance–  Inspired by ballroom dancing, this discipline incorporates musicality, performances and athletisim to all your favourite rhythms.  There are a series of dances and dance elements per Star level for skaters to have evaluated and if they pursue it, compete.

Skills– Skating Skills are a combination of fundamental skating movements which include turns, edges, x-overs, field moves and footwork.  As you progress through the evaluation system, the skills become more advanced developing solid foundational skating for Singles, Pairs, Ice Dance and Singles.

Artistic- Artistic tests are designed to incorporate moves learned in the skills test into an artistic program for evaluation and tests.  This is a great way for skaters to explore movement and creativity on ice.
