2004 World Junior Figure Skating Championships
The World Junior Figure Skating Championships is an annual event sanctioned by the International Skating Union in which junior age eligible figure skaters compete for the title of World Junior Champion. Skaters compete in ladies' singles, men's singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
The 2004 competition took place between February 29 and March 7 in the De Uithof, in The Hague, Netherlands. Due to the large number of participants, the ladies and men's qualifying groups were split into groups A and B. The ice dancing qualifying event was split into two groups as well, with both groups doing the same dances in the same order. Group B skated their first and second dances one after the other, then Group A skated their first and second, in the same order. The first compulsory dance was the Quickstep and the second was the Paso Doble.
