Demo transitions, 180 and 2 180s to complete a full 360.

Open the book Use whole body Turn head and shoulders first. Step one foot 180 degrees to the direction you're facing. Follow with the other foot almost instantly to complete the turn.

Pivot Stagger your stance and bend your knees (one foot rolls further out but legs are not crossed). Turn in the direction your body is more 'open' (i.e. if your right foot is in front, you would turn to the left.) Lift back wheels and pivot around on your front wheels. Weight in the balls of your feet/toes.

Jump Bend knees. Turn head and shoulders. Jump full 180. Bend knees on landing.

'Disco turn’ Open hips so toes are pointing in opposite directions. Move feet so they trace a half circle on the floor.

Skaters practise by themselves or transition on the whistle according to needs.

Less confident skaters work up from transitioning stationary, starting with 90 degree turns as necessary, then practise going back and forth widthways and transitioning on lines.

More confident skaters practise 1 foot transitions and 360 turns.

Skaters confidently transition in a small space.
