Solo ice dance lets you train and compete individually in one of figure skating's fastest-growing disciplines — no partner required. Recognized by the ISU and US Figure Skating, it offers a full pathway of national and international competition while developing independence, musicality and flawless technique.

Why skaters choose solo ice dance

Solo ice dance is perfect for skaters who love speed, deep edges and expression but don't want to depend on finding a partner. You progress entirely on your own schedule and merit, mastering the same technical and artistic foundations that define the discipline. It's also one of the smartest ways to build a technical base before moving into couples ice dance later.

What you'll master

At Krigor Studio, solo ice dance is coached by two-time Olympians whose careers were built on edges, rhythm and artistry. You'll learn pattern dances, deep and secure edges, turns and twizzles, and the timing and presentation that judges reward. Just as importantly, you'll develop the musical interpretation and performance quality that make a dancer compelling on the ice.

A pathway to couples ice dance

Many skaters use solo ice dance as a foundation, then transition to couples when they're ready. When that time comes, we help with try-outs and partner matching — so nothing you build in solo is ever wasted.
