Ice dance is supposed to be like ballroom dancing on ice. Partners are supposed to be touching for the majority of the program. Jumps are minimal. In partner is skating, they do not need to be touching, and it is more of a skill based competition, with difficult jumps and lifts, and more physicality. Partners do not need to be doing the exact same thing at the exact same time.

In pairs figure skating they do jumps/throws and lifts. but in ice dancing its pretty much dancing on ice, l mean they do spins but no jumps/throws or lifts or anything like that.

In pairs, skaters perform jumps, spins and lifts, similar to singles skaters. In dance, skaters perform patterns which resemble ballroom dance, but there really is no jumping, spinning and lifts cannot be higher than the male is shoulders.
