Spin like a pro!

Above is a step -by-step run through of my basic spin, it’s a very simple but effective move wich can be used as a transition move or simply on it’s own. Simple as it seems, when it’s executed well it can become a strong part of your repertoire, setting you apart from the ‘one-size-fits-all’ guys who a)don’t dance or b) do that same swaying/swinging arms movement.

Step 1: Point the toes of your dominant foot (in this case my right foot) into the direction which you intend to spin

Step 2: Step into the spin on your toes, angling your foot as far into the direction that you intend to spin as possible (notice the build of tension in your hips)

STEPS 3 THROUGH 5 MUST BE CARRIED OUT SEAMLESSY TO ENSURE A SMOOTH SPIN

Step 3: Release the tension in your hips and step down hard on to the heel of your dominant foot (right foot) whilst simultaneously stepping onto the toes of your left foot – causing you to begin spinning.

Step 4: You will now reach the point at which yur legs are ’scissored’ with your dominant foot at the rear

Step 5: Quickly whip your dominant foot forward and place it parallell to your left foot to end the move. It’s very mportant to step firmly at this point because this movement will kill the momentum of the spin and allow you to stop.

When executed correctly this looks super-smooth and will definitely set you apart from the bunch. I suggest that you practice a few times daily and you should be able to get it down within a few days… Good luck!
