A rocker turn in figure skating is a type of turn where the skater shifts from one edge to the opposite edge, while also changing direction. The skater begins on one edge, typically an inside edge, and then makes a smooth half-turn to switch to the other edge, often an outside edge, while turning in the opposite direction. The movement resembles the rocking motion, which is why it is called a "rocker." This turn is often used in footwork sequences to change direction without losing speed. It requires good edge control, balance, and coordination to perform smoothly.
