I can do a spiral, but I haven't tried a camel spin! How do you do a camel spin? I've of course seen one, but I mean technically!
Sorry if this sounds childish, but I remember always thinking of an airplane when I had been learning it. I think that I had been told so by my coach when I had first learned it. That favourite mental image had helped me get a different "feeling" from the other spins. Then stretching both legs and pointing the free leg's toe had partly helped me with the tension and the subsequent speed. After your body learns the momentum to have the good entrance (which I believe would come through practicing a lot), it is a fun spin to do. Unlike other spins, there had been something delightful, uplifting, liberating about the "feeling" with the camel, which I used to love a lot. I hope you'll find the camel enjoyable, too.
