What are some of the spins in figure skating?

Answer 1

When you begin to spin in figure skating, you would begin with a two foot spin. You then would move onto a one foot spin. A basic spin that beginners learn next is called the scratch (or crossfoot)spin. As you become more advanced, the difficulty of spins becomes harder. Sit spins, Camel spins, Laybacks, and Back (scratch) spin are more of the basic of those harder spins and to create a combination spin, you combine basic spins with variations.

Types of spins: there are many variances in spins - with different positioning of hands and free leg. Then there is combination spins which has the skater changing position, change of foot, change of edge, which leaves the door open to various spins.
