Ditto for France. Same dance. I think the official ISU dances ARE all the same. But France has a couple extra dances they require at the pre- and prelim levels.
In terms of the start, here they do very elaborate starts, which I have trouble getting used to- skaters can do anything they want going into the dance, as long as the start the pattern on the correct beat. I still prefer to stand there and just do the old-school pushes into the pattern, at least for testing. I can see the pull to do that during competition. Here, they also have us start at different places on the ice than I did in the US back in the day, but I have a feeling that is more about coach preference than any rules.
