Heee! Sometimes I wonder what I'd do if I suddenly had toepicks, and then I think about The Cutting Edge and sigh nostalgically.
Yeah, we're not actually doing levels in any formal way. None of the figure skaters in my class are anywhere close to a competitive level, and the rest of us don't have to prove anything beyond not being a liability to a team - so no tests! Hurrah!
I agree with you that ice dance looks like the most fun, and I like that the (good) choreography truly looks like choreography, rather than steps marking time until the next flashy jump. I know! You should try to make everybody hold hands and skate around, the way you're not allowed to do in public sessions - whoever takes to it with a will has already passed the first partner test. :D
