How do you do a basic spin in figure skating?

Answer 1

There are three steps in completing a basic spin for figure skating:

1. You want to get a little bit of speed so that you can actually spin.

2. You want to have the foot you balance on better on the inside part of your blade and the other foot tilted in a lunging position.

3. Spin your foot around your other foot and slowly bring in your arms so they cross and spin in 360 degrees.
