Lesson plan
twizzle
A twizzle is "a multirotational, one-foot turn that moves across the ice" in the sport of figure skating. The International Skating Union (ISU) defines a twizzle as "a traveling turn on one foot with one or more rotations which is quickly rotated with a continuous (uninterrupted) action". It is most often performed in ice dance, although single skaters and pair skaters also perform the element. Twizzles have been called "the quads of ice dance" because like quadruple jumps in other skating disciplines, twizzles are risky and technically demanding.
