Figure Skating Photo Information
I have done most of my figure skating photography in New England, at shows rather than
competitions - Champions on Ice and Stars on Ice, Evening with Champions and Boston Ice Chips,
and at ice skating shows in Marlboro, Ma. and Simsbury, Ct. Competitions include Improv-Ice
(in the 1990s) and currently Marshalls Figure Skating Challenge.
Often I am an official photographer for an ice show, with a press pass which
entitles me to a seat in the center first row (and the rights to sell my
photos), but other times I buy ice skating event tickets like everyone else
and may sit as far back as the 12th, which is more difficult for photography.
Currently I use a Minolta 7 camera with 1600 film and a 210 or 300
zoom lens. My Konica Minolta A200 digital camera is not capable of such
low light, high speed photography.

Figure Skating Photo Purchases
Select figure skating photos (from shows without photography restrictions or where I have an arrangement to photograph the show/event for free in exchange for free use of my photographs) are occasionally for sale on my Ebay page or can be purchased directly depending upon existing stock. I rarely however have photos reprinted, and not all photos I posted can legally be sold. Inquire by emailing
Tracy Marks.

What is Ice Dance?
Ice dance is a form of figure skating involving a man and
woman skating together to the rhythm of music, in the
manner of ballroom dancing on ice.
Unlike pairs which
involves many acrobatic "tricks", throws and above-the-
head lifts, ice dance depends upon
close dance holds, intricate footwork including "twizzles", synchronized
spinning close together, and expressive interpretation
of the music. Ice dance partners are expected to
maintain a continuous flowing connection to the
beat of the music, and may not separate
or stop on the ice for more than 5 seconds.
Ice dance competitions have three
parts - the compulsory dance, in which all teams
skate to the same music; the original dance, in which
a specific dance form is required (such as waltz,
or rhumba) but teams may choose their own music;
and the longer and more creative free dance, in
which partners have more flexibility in
choosing their music (vocals allowed) and ice
dance steps, although there are specific requirement
for the number and kinds of lifts, spins, twizzles and
step sequences.
Ice dance did not become an Olympic sport until 1976,
but soon reached its moment of glory with Torvill
and Dean's gold medal (six 6.0s) Bolero performance at the
1984 Olympics. Recent Olympic winners in ice dance include:
Navka and Kostomarov (2006), Anissina and Peizerat (2002),
Grishuk and Platov (1998). For the first time
in thirty years, the U.S. medalled at the Olympics in
ice dance in 2002 - Belbin and Agosto won the silver
medal.
