Beginner Footwork Sequence using Three-Turns - Figure Skating Tutorial

[@versa319]

Well done! The delivery of information was presented very well. I’m a retired high level coach and its nice to see someone deliver coaching information clearly. I’ve witnessed so many coaches not deliver information well to their students. It’s the usual, ‘do it again’ command that I hear the most. It takes someone special to coach in this sport. Someone who takes the time to break the process down and then build from that. Someone who creates the right tone in their voice that sounds encouraging and describes each movement perfectly. The best coaches in this sport are the ones that can explain or deliver the information clearly and concisely. Keep up the good work.

[@CoachJulia]

Wow, thank you so much. Your feedback is so uplifting and encouraging!

[@rinaholleyable]

I love this! Can you do more of these basic footwork sequences tutorials in future, pretty please? 🙏🏻😊

[@CoachJulia]

I am so glad you like it! I would be happy to make more videos like this.

[@juliathompson9859]

Totally agree! This is one of the first footwork sequences I’ve seen that actually looks really good and feels doable - thank you! Also, general beginner choreography would be really cool - how to combine footwork like this with very basic jumps and spins

You are such a pleasant friendly person Julia!!

Oh, my god!!! These outside three-turns to both sides in change are very difficult in reality!!! In Russia we call them “3-turns #7”:-)) it is an obligatory element in FS schools. And your hints, dear Julia, to keep the side strong at the end must help me!! Because I do the mistake which you demonstrated - the week side! Thank you so much for your channel and explanations! And I will try your sequence, all these elements I can do quite stable! From Moscow with love, Elena; 50++ years old figure skating lover and trainee ⛸

Same. I have only been skating lessons for two months but we just started crossovers and Mohawks but now it’s back on lockdown so I’m going to have to start all over again

[@CoachJulia]

I am so sorry to hear about those new lockdowns. Try to get some off-ice practice in so you maintain some muscle memory.

Get some inline skates and skate in your driveway or neighborhood streets if you have them. Its better than nothing.

You can do it! That check position and a strong/controlled upper body are really important in figure skating.

Hi Coach, I'm a new subscriber but I've been following your instructions about a year before they closed the rinks. Like everyone else, off ice practice isn't doing it for me. I am fortunate to to be an old married guy with plenty of time during shut down and spent the time on my back yard rink. Just filled up with water and good 'ole New England freezing temps around the corner, one rink that isn't going to shut- down...thanks for this Great Site!!

Oh my gosh I wish I could make myself a backyard rink. That would be the best, but as a California girl, that isn't going to happen. Just have to keep my fingers crossed that my rink stays open. Thanks for watching my videos and for subscribing!

I would like to know how to do three turns sequence (some people call this travelling here). How are the changes of foot support in this case?

[@legitlyspelunking]

Excited to try this! Would love to see one for c-steps (mohawks) as well!

[@CoachJulia]

Great suggestion!

[@kaitlyn_sc2]

does it matter if you turn clockwise or counterclock wise? ive always wondered when you skate around the outside of the rink, if you put your feet inline with each other does it matter which one is forward (e.g. forward foot should be the one closest to inside of the rink?) or if it doesn't matter..

[@siwulec0]

Beautiful music playing during your wonderful sequence, could you share the name please?

[@karinanderson2463]

Hello, I've seen the waltz done with a bracket on KZbin, also the nonkating foot raised to the front

[@CoachJulia]

Interesting! There are so many ways of doing footwork that it is always creating new and creative challenges for us skaters.

[@joycec8]

The one I thought would be the easiest end up being the hardest for me! (checking against the alternating 3 turns) Though after sort of picking up the other two, for the first time I felt like I was dancing on the ice and it's an amazing feeling! Thanks!

[@CoachJulia]

Those alternating threes are deceptively tricky. But so glad to hear you had success with the other two. It’s amazing when you feel that smooth graceful feeling.

[@TheLarryBrown]

I've been skating almost a year now, 6 hours per week and in only a few cases have a felt that magic of effortlessly gliding across the ice like a good skater seems to do. It sure is fun when I hit one of those. It reminds me of learning to ride a bike. Riding with training wheels was torture but when you tipped the bike up and could ride for just a second or two on two wheels the feeling was magical.

[@kikakajtek]

[@terrydruste9056]

Hi Julie, thanks so much for your amazing videos and sharing your knowledge with us. I loved this footwork exercise! Just wondering if you might be able to demonstrate something about "twists" as I call them. I don't know a better name. It's a footwork/fields move where a person twists quickly from backwards to forwards moving down the rink, then fwds to bkwds and repeated quickly. It can be done as a 2-foot exercise or 1-foot. Basically you put your arms out lengthwise to the direction you will be twisting to and then twist back and forth . . as I say usually it's learned as a 2-foot move, then 1 foot. Honestly, I've been searching youtube and all sorts of skating sites but can't find an example of what my coach is trying to get us to do. I believe the twists are done from the middle of the blade mostly and there is a slight knee rising and lowering in this exercise. Personally I don't find it easy at all and would love some pointers if you might be able to share this with us. Much appreciation for all you've done :)

[@CoachJulia]

I am pretty sure what you are describing is one two footwork combos, a Bracket/3-Turn/Bracket will move back and forth like that, or a Rocker/3-Turn/Rocker. They are both quite difficult so I can see while you would have a challenge with it. In the US they are part of the Novice and Junior moves in the field patterns. I will work on a video for that 😁

[@terrydruste9056]

@@CoachJulia Hi Julia, thanks so much for your reply. Actually it wouldn't involve brackets; I'm somewhat familiar with brackets, but I'm definitely not there yet. I have since found a video that is sort of what I'm meaning "twists" . . but only this person isn't doing the quick twists - one after the other - down the line. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGmxla16o6imrpY He's only showing one going forwards to backwards, then backwards to forwards. What I'm meaning is when a skater does them repeatedly quickly - twisting back and forth. Sorry for the link I sent. Please feel free to delete it. I just didn't know another way to describe it. There must be a better name than "twisting exercise" but that's what my coaches call it. Thanks again! :)

I’m sorry but three turns aren’t figure skating tricks. People with hockey skates can easily do these. Yes they may be able to help you learn actual tricks but are not tricks themselves. I did SKATING classes for 9 years and learned these. Keep in mind this was the opposite of a figure skating class. Just remember that.

[@CoachJulia]

Hi Kianna, Turns Turns are considered footwork in figure skating and are included in many levels of figure skating tests. As such, they are considered ‘tricks’ on their own, and are also a necessary skill to learn since they are also a part of many jumps and spins. I have been skating for 34 years and coaching for 15, both figure skaters and hockey players. Just because Hockey players have to learn them as well does not mean that they are not a good trick or skill to learn. 🙂

[@kiannacat9330]

@@CoachJulia thank you for the reply. I’m guessing you are in the United States. I live in Canada so it may be possible that the rules and regulations are different here. I don’t mean to bicker with you especially because you are a teacher. I do agree with you though that they are a very important skill to learn that will help you and how they are incorporated into many skills.
