    After the SkateUK level tests (1-10) the next series of tests are the "Passport" bronze, silver, and gold. The specialty tests for ice dance, pairs and singles come after you've passed the three passport tests.

    If you want to do solo dance, you COULD take private lessons whenever you wish to begin and can find an instructor.

    Once you've passed level ten you go onto a scheme called the Passport. You start at Bronze, then Silver then Gold. You start learning skills which which will allow you to compete at a higher level such as jumps and spins. In bronze you learn a free jump, also known as a waltz jump, which is the basis of an axel. In silver I think it's a salchow, and then in gold I think you learn a lutz. If you have a look on the NISA website (National Ice Skating Association) I'm sure you could find more information on pairs skating, I'm a solo free skater so I'm not sure about the other diciplines.

    The Passport scheme is fantastic though, when you land your first full speed salchow and lutz you get such a rush!

    I'd also recomend trying to practice everything you have learned in SkateUK at full speed, for example, 3 turns are so much different when done in a programme than they are from a static start.

    enquire at ur rink or research on the net. i wud say just keep an eye out 4 any comps or even ice shows that need ppl. if u hav ur own private coach ask them if theres ne1 who sk8s at ur rink that wants a partner. i u dont hav a priv. coach then get 1. always keep strivin 2wards ur sk8in goal tho, dont giv up! gd luck with ur test!!

    Source(s): i want 2 get a priv. coach at my local rink (peterborough) in the planet ice chain so i can start lessons. i keep weighin up the future possibilities about wot i cud do in sk8in.
