Here's a reference thread I started a few years ago identifying the basic edges and turns. I hope most of the links still work.
Thanks a lot for this. Much of it I knew, but some I didn't and it is really helpful

You just need to follow ice dance, tht's all. With time you'll see the difference. Also, youtube has slow-motion replays for every video, just make an effort and you'll see that the turns are really different (from inside edge to inside edge, from inside edge to outside edge, clockwise and counter-clockwise, inside the circle or outside the circle etc.). There's also steps where skaters transfer their weight from one foot to the other (from edge to an edge). You should easily see a 3-turn, it's a simple step, for example, and it looks like a skater makes a '3'-shaped trace on the ice when skater glides on the edge of the blade and turns inside the circle he/she moves without the help of the other foot and the edge changes (inside to outside, or outside to inside).
Look: https://youtu.be/NvIk-R2VNbg?t=2m2s Here Madison Chock execute 3-turn as transitional element. It's a 'right-forward-outside to right-backward-inside' type of three turn (RFO-RBI) performed as a transition, really simple step.
And here's another one: https://youtu.be/NvIk-R2VNbg?t=3m8s She does 'right-forward-inside to right-backward-outside' type of three turn (RFI-RBO) performed right from assisted jump as a transition into the twizzles.
Look at these at 0.25x speed until you clearly see the difference. Then try to look for similar steps. It's pretty simple. Then you can move to other type of steps and turns. I cn help with examples if you want.
So, what's a pattern dance? Is that the required thing in the short dance that changes each season to salsa or hip hop or swing or something?
Thank you, what a babe! :luv17:Tanith Belbin, her partner was Benjamin Agosto.

Is it the most revealing female costume in fs history?
I'd say she looked super sexy, but there was not much chemistry between them in that performance (still, I'm not dance expert).I very well remember the commentators in my country very delighted with her. But for some reason I never thought she looked sexy or that the dress was very revealing, I guess it's because she is very thin. If Liza T. wore that dress another thing would be.
I also did not believe her the sexy attitude , but I know that many guys loved it.
