Spiral Sequence
A "spiral sequence" is a series of spiral moves performed together. The spiral sequence is a required element for ladies and pairs in international competition; under the rules for the ISU Judging System, the skater must hold each spiral position for at least 3 seconds to receive credit for it.
A spiral sequence often includes a change of edge spiral. The same position is held, but the skater changes the edge he or she is skating on. The most common is forward inside edge to forward outside edge.
