does anyone have any tips on keeping yourself balanced as you start spinning on your other leg? l can do a regular one foot spin just fine on my left leg, but when l switch to right is where l have a problem... please let me know

Stand up, arch ur back, such ur stomach in, & do not look down. l have a problem with the looking down part, my coach says she is going to put a dog cone on my head ( the one that keeps dogs from scratching themselfs), LOL! If u do that it should come together. And make sure u do not spin till u have ur balance, if u do not u will fall every time. And lastly go fast, the faster the easier! l hope l helped you! Good luck!

P.S. Make a fist with ur foot so u stay centered!

when u change the curve has to be deep, & the push strong. picture this: u r spinning & u switch from left to right plainly, like just regularly taking a step. r u going to keep spinning? no.
to keep the spin going from one leg to another there has to be a good edge & push, not just a step.
also, on the left leg, u spin forward, on the right leg, u spin backwards. its a little hard to notice this but while switching be fully on the outside edge on the circle bone of ur foot.

My coach taught me something for setting up any spin, and it makes my change foot so much easier! After you've stepped under your foot, before oulling into your spin and when your arms still out, make sure you make a ful 180 degree rotation. Think of it like setting a table. You would not want to be rude and not give everyone a place. l hope this helps!

Some tips:

Switch to the other foot as u r going to do a pivot, just faster & keep u feet close

keep ur back straight
dont' look down
pull ur arms in: no scattered arms
hold each spin on each leg for about 3 rev, then increase
do not rush & get frustrated: it loses concentration
when u switch, do not lean to forward or backward
do not switch using ur toepick

Hope l helped
Good Luck!
