From www.richmondfsc.com/SOI/0302.htm and attributed to Skaters55+, whatever that is.

Rules for Ice Dancers
1. The lady is always right.
2. The man is not allowed an opinion.
3. Mistakes are the man’s fault.
4. If there is lack of unison, the man’s timing is off.
5. The man must lead firmly so the lady can skate exactly the trace she is going to take anyway.
6. While dancing, the man must make small talk about the lady’s dress or hairdo, while the lady makes small talk about the man’s toepicking, poor posture, or lack of leg extension.
7. Following a dance, the man must smile and say, “Thank you for the dance.” The lady must wrinkle her nose and say, “We’ll have to work on that one.”
8. White marks on a man's boots attest to his brutishness, clumsiness, and lack of rhythm. Black marks on a lady's boots attest to her long-suffering disposition.

Thanks for reposting it. I sent it to my ice dancing friends. I slightly revised it, with attribution, and sent it to my faux pairs partner.

I like #3! (Actually my coach and I abide by this rule- when I'm partnering with her and we mess up, it's always her fault! )

Rules for Pair Skaters
1. The lady is always right.
2. The man is not allowed an opinion.
3. Mistakes are the man's fault.
4. If there is lack of unison, the man's timing is off.
5. The man must lead firmly so the lady can skate exactly the trace she is going to take anyway.
6. While skating, the man must make small talk about the lady's dress or hairdo, while the lady makes small talk about the man's toepicking, poor posture, or lack of leg extension.
7. Following a program, the man must smile and say, "That was great." The lady must wrinkle her nose and say, "We'll have to work on that spin."
8. White marks on a man's boots attest to his brutishness, clumsiness, and lack of rhythm. Black marks on a lady's boots attest to her long-suffering disposition.
