A team of skaters (usually counted in multiples of four) creates various patterns and movements to music. Often used elements include skating in a line, skating in a box, “splicing” (subgroups skating towards each other such that they do not contact each other), and skating in a circle. The team is judged on its choreography and the ability to skate together precisely, and jumps and spins are not as important. In this category, they are classified as “small groups” (6 to 15 people) or “big groups” (16 to 30 skaters). These show groups are also divided due to the level and ages.
