Hi. To be able to spin on the ice is not always simple. Firstly, you need to have a good entry (you can google this to get a good idea of what it is). If your entry is too shallow or it doesn't have enough curve it's likely you will travel or end up doing a 3-turn. Try to curve the entry as much as you can on a slightly bent knee. Then slowly rise up and pull your arms in to your chest and hold the open/upright position until you feel that the spin is well centered. Just keep doing this for for a bit until you get the hang of it. Later on you can try to cross your leg over the other one to spin faster. If you're doing this remember to put your free ankle by your knee and then slowly slide it down. Try not to spin on your toepick. Keep practicing and it will come. Good luck!
P.S: I'm trying to find a way to stop going up onto my toe when I spin. If you have any advice or know anyone who can help me to fix this please, please, please let me know! It would be much appreciated. Thanks!
