What is the requirement for a Level 1 traveling element?

For a Level 1 traveling element in synchronized skating, the requirement is to include one feature. This means that skaters need to demonstrate a basic level of skill while executing the element and can achieve a Level 1 rating by incorporating just one of the specified features, which could be a particular type of formation change, pattern, or a basic execution technique.

This approach allows teams to show a foundational understanding of the element while not requiring the complexity that comes with higher levels. Hence, the main focus at Level 1 is to ensure that teams can perform the element with a clear understanding of synchronization and traveling mechanics, which establishes a building block for more advanced skills in future levels.
