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:
“I notice well that one stray step from the habitual path leads irresistibly into a new direction. Life moves forward, it never reverses its course.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“It isn’t that you subordinate your ideas to the force of the facts in autobiography but that you construct a sequence of stories to bind up the facts with a persuasive hypothesis that unravels your history’s meaning.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
“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)
