A bracket turn is a kind of one-foot turn in figure skating. Unlike a three turn, where the cusp of the turn points into the curve of the arc on which it is skated, a bracket turn is counterrotated so that the cusp points outward. The tracing of the turn on the ice resembles a curly bracket "}".
Brackets are considered advanced turns in figure skating, and commonly appear only in step sequences instead of as a simple means of changing direction.
