I am a competitive figure skater. There are certain turns you can use such as a mowhawk, where you set one foot down that is facing the opposite direction from which you are gliding. There is a two foot turn, where you either go on or toes and turn backwards, or lean somewhat on your heals and turn forwards. Use your hips to help turn. And a 3 turn, which is basically a 2 foot turn on 1 foot. But remember, it takes practice, and you may fall a couple times.
