I have created this page to summarize the SkateCanada (formerly Canadian Figure Skating Association [CFSA]) Ice Dances and to list all those Other Ice Dances that I have found (on and off the Web). With the exception of the more exotic dances (ie: sources unknown), most of the Dances Listed come from the following sources:

Figure Skating Links (mainly Ice Dancing)

SkateCanada Dance List

In this list I have attempted to include the basic information for each dance. This information is condensed from the CFSA Rulebook and enhanced via "rinkspeak". The beat of the music, time for one pattern, pattern type and, of course, the Alias with which we so fondly describe each dance.
