Figure Skating Music Cutting forCompetition Programs
Upload your song, choose your program length, and get a clean, competition-ready figure skating music cut made by professional editors. Katja helps skaters, parents, coaches, and choreographers create music that supports timing, choreography, transitions, and performance quality on the ice.
“Make the chorus arrive before the step sequence.”
The edit is judged by how naturally it carries the skater, not by whether anyone notices the cut.
Who it is for
Katja is made for skaters and the people helping them prepare clean, reliable program music.
What we edit
Use Katja for figure skating program music at different levels, formats, and points in the season.
Why skating music needs specialist editing
Figure skating music editing is not just making a song shorter. The cut has to support the skater, the choreography, the rink sound system, and the way a program builds in front of judges and an audience.
Phrasing that supports the choreography
A good figure skating music cut protects musical phrases so entrances, edges, spins, step sequences, jumps, and transitions feel intentional instead of chopped together.
Tempo and emotional build
Skating music needs momentum. We shape the edit so the program has lift, contrast, and a clear emotional arc from first movement to final pose.
Accents, clarity, and strong endings
Clean choreographic accents, rink-friendly volume, natural transitions, and a decisive ending help the skater perform with confidence.
