According to the International Skating Union (ISU), the governing body of figure skating, an ice dance team consists of one woman and one man.

Couples and friends would skate waltzes, marches, and other social dances. The first steps in ice dance were similar to those used in ballroom dancing. In the late 1800s, American Jackson Haines, known as "the Father of Figure Skating", brought his style of skating, which included waltz steps and social dances, to Europe.
