Everything about Counter Turn totally explained
A
counter turn is a kind of one-foot turn in
figure skating. Unlike
three turns and
brackets, where the entry and exit edges follow the same curve, in a counter the entry and exit are on opposite curves. When executing a counter, the skater turns outward to the curve of the entry edge, and exits on a curve in the same sense as the turn. Another way to look at it's that a counter is similar to the entry of a bracket turn combined with the exit of a three turn. (The opposite combination is called a
rocker turn.)
While counters are sometimes used to perform a simple change of direction, they more commonly appear in step sequences and in compulsory dances in
ice dancing. For example, in the Westminster Waltz, the lady performs a rocker while the man performs a counter turn. Counters also appear on the
USFSA's Novice-level
moves in the field test.
