The ice dancing technical information page contains many of the documents relevant to the skating and officiating of this discipline. The format of the information is broken into four different sections: Technical Information, ISU communications, Technical Panel Information - Ice Dance, and Judge and Referee Information. The documents are published by the ISU or U.S. Figure Skating. It is suggested to check often on all posted documents for your event and to check the Technical Notifications/Alerts tab on the sidebar for any changes made by U.S. Figure Skating.
