2026 Deep Dive: Choreo Tools for Solo Ice Dance
DATES:
Tuesday, March 17
Tuesday, March 31
Tuesday, April 7
Monday, April 13
We’re excited to announce an upcoming four-part virtual intensive focused specifically on choreography tools for Solo Ice Dance — designed for Technical Specialists, choreographers, and skating professionals who want to deepen their observational clarity and compositional vocabulary.
Led by Technical Specialists Katie Tetzloff & Brooklee Han along with choreographers Garrett Kling & Kate McSwain, this series will take a focused, practical look at how we analyze and build choreography using structured tools — including Time, Space, Energy, speed variation, skating skills, and compositional complexity.
Led by Technical Specialists and choreographers Katie Tetzloff and Brooklee Han, this series will explore how complexity is constructed and observed through Time, Space, and Energy, as well as through speed variation, skating skills, and intentional compositional choices within Solo Ice Dance programs. Together, we’ll examine real examples, refine language around choreographic elements, and bridge the gap between technical evaluation and artistic intention.
Each session is 90 minutes and will build on the previous conversation, creating space for nuanced discussion and applied analysis.
Pricing is $75 for all four sessions if purchased before the first session, or $25 per session after the series begins.
If you’re looking to sharpen your tools, clarify your vocabulary, and deepen your understanding of choreography in Solo Ice Dance, we’d love to have you join us.
All of our previous Deep Dive Series videos can be purchased for viewing afterwards on our AIT Shop Page.
