Solo Showcase/Spotlight
Routines may be fun, entertaining, emotional, or a portrayal of characters using costumes and props. Emphasis is placed on theatrical and entertainment value of the skater’s performance, rather than on the technical accuracy of specific maneuvers (no grade for technical merit). Props, if used, are limited to those the skater can hand-carry or push onto the ice themselves in one trip. The skater may not be assisted during the set-up time (except those entering the tots events), and the set-up time cannot take more than thirty seconds. Those entering the Tots events may have coach assistance, but may not exceed the set up time. A skater my not be given off-ice assistance during their number, except in the Tots events. No residue of any type may remain on the ice after the routine. Live props are not permitted. Props may not be flame, dry ice, or smoke oriented or any substance that will alter the surface of the ice. Maximum of 3 jumps allowed. If skaters are from different levels, they must enter at the highest level skater.
