Hi Goldenskate,
I am sorry to annoy you with beginners questions but nonetheless hoping that someone can help me.
Some time ago I started to take classes in ice skating but then relocated to an "non-ice-skating-area". During my last lesson (one year ago) I tried to spin and that is, what I have been doing since then... trying...
On good days I can turn about three times (at a really slow pace) but I always struggle with my balance and (?) body tension.
I spin to the left and tried a basic two foot spin as well as a basic one foot spin (as my weight feels like beeing mainly one my left foot in a two foot spin-try).
Are there any tips for spinning a real spin?
Is it better to bend the knees slightly or to hold the legs stretched?
What about the back? More hollow-back-like or the other way around?
Or are there some exercises?
Thanks a lot to everyone for reading this
