I learned to turn at a school playground. I sarted w/ VERY wide turns,
like 50+ ft diameter. The painted lines on the asphalt were good
things to focus on for where I wanted to go and to measure my progress
in turn tightness.
wobbling bear said:a trick to learn: if you want to turn right raise your left arm as if
waving good bye, bend your forearm and point slightly to the right in
the direction where you want to go, have your right thumb pointing down
and back. That may oblige you to bend and twist your torso in a way
that will facilitate turning.
the other point is about handling an unequal pedaling.
for sure we do not do that when we turn it's just to "dance" and
exagerate the movement.
Edit
(I'm not sure if that's what you meant, but that's what I did, and it
worked well.)

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
