A twizzle-like motion is a motion in which the skating foot executes less than a full turn, followed by a step forward, while the body performs one full continuous motion. There are four types of entry edges for twizzles: the forward inside, the forward outside, the backward inside, and the backward outside. American ice dancer Alex Shibutani calls twizzles "the quads of ice dance" because like quadruple jumps in other disciplines, twizzles, which appear most often in ice dance programs, are risky and technically demanding. For both a set of synchronized twizzles and a set of sequential twizzles, each twizzle should be at least one full rotation on one foot performed at the same time by both partners. A set of sequential twizzles is a series of two twizzles for each partner, with up to one step between twizzles. A set of synchronized twizzles is a series of two twizzles for each partner, with up to four steps between twizzles. Twizzle sequences, when executed well, are often the highlight of ice dance programs. A spin, by comparison, is a stationary, multi-rotational turn. The International Skating Union (ISU), the governing body of figure skating, 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 a "a difficult turn" in single skating. Twizzles have been called "the quads of ice dance" because like quadruple jumps in other disciplines, twizzles are risky and technically demanding.Ī twizzle is "a multirotational, one-foot turn that moves across the ice" in the sport of figure skating. It is most often performed in ice dance, although single skaters and pair skaters also perform the element. First performed by David Grant in 1990 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".
