How to Do Turns in Ice Dancing

Now, you're also going to see 3 turns and mohawks, so we're going to start with the outside 3. You're going to start with your left arm in front, bring your right arm in front your shoulder, bend the knee, and snap the hip. That's called a 3 turn because it looks like a 3 on the ice. Okay, Brenda. Okay. Now we're going to do the inside 3. Of course, the 3 turns are done on both feet. We'll demonstrate it on the other foot. Okay. Then now we're going to do the inside 3. Before we do the inside 3, let me explain to you that there are 2 edges. There's the outside edge and the inside edge. The outside edge means you're leaning onto the outside. The inside edge means you're leaning onto the inside like that. Okay. Those are very important. There's forwards and backwards. There's the back outside edge where you're like that leaning that way and the back inside edge where you're leaning into the circle. Okay, we're going to demonstrate a few edges for you so that you'll know what you're doing with edges. Okay. Windy, outside edge. These are forward outside edges. Okay. Next, we're going to have Cindy do some inside edges for us. Those are the inside edges. Brenda is now going to do the back outside edge for us.
