Figure skating turns and steps can be identified by the marks produced by the skater’s blades on the ice when the turns or steps are executed.

The counter, rocker, bracket, three turn, loop, twizzle, choctaw and mohawk are turns commonly used in figure skating step sequences. They are “turns” because they enable the skater to change directions.

Check out this amazing Youtube channel for slow-mo videos of different steps and turns and this other wonderful video identifying all the steps, turns and other elements in Yuzuru’s Chopin Ballade program.
