Step Sequence Patterns
- A straight line step sequence travels from one end of the rink to the far end. It begins at any spot along the short barrier and ends at the barrier across the rink. The skater travels the approximate shape of a straight line.
- The patterns of ice dancing step sequences separate straight line into midline and diagonal:
- A midline step sequence travels along the center axis of the ice rink and crosses the full length of the rink.
- A diagonal step sequence travels from one corner of the rink to the corner diagonal from the originating corner.
- The patterns of ice dancing step sequences separate straight line into midline and diagonal:
- A circular step sequence uses the full width of the rink. The skater travels the appropeximate shape of a circle or oval.
- A serpentine step sequence travels from end of the rink to the opposite end. The skater travels in at least two curves. The approximate shape should be serpentine (shaped like an S).

Famous quotes containing the words step, sequence and/or patterns:
“Young children step on your feet, older children step on your heart.”
—Proverb.
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
