Rocker turn

Unlike three turns and brackets, where the entry and exit edges follow the same curve, in a rocker, the entry and exit are on opposite curves.

Another way to look at it is that a rocker is similar to the entry of a three turn combined with the exit of a bracket.

(The opposite combination is called a counter turn.)

While rockers are sometimes used to perform a simple change of direction, they more commonly appear in step sequences and in compulsory dances in ice dancing.
