Babydoll41 1 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have a question.... I can shuffle pretty well, but how do you do a spin? I can't get mine right, and I've you-tubes it so many time but can't find anything decent. Please help! Link to post Share on other sites
Rorok 8 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Try using your arms for some momentum, and on one foot, use the other foot to kinda push a little, if that makes any sense....Kinda hard to explain through text. Link to post Share on other sites
Noqturnal 35 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I get what you mean Rorok, but that's because I can already do spins. Perhaps one of us can post a video for her? Link to post Share on other sites
Babydoll41 1 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Please post a vid. I had another look on You-Tube but still couldn't find anything. Link to post Share on other sites
PikaShuffle 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have a question.... I can shuffle pretty well, but how do you do a spin? I can't get mine right, and I've you-tubes it so many time but can't find anything decent. Please help! it depends what kind of spin ur trying to do. kick spin, super spin, t step spin:b if ur jst talking about a regular spin, balance on either ur heel or the palm of ur foot (which evers comfier) and kick off the ground with the other foot in a spinning motion. ur going to have to be very well balenced to get spins to work for you well and be able to land them in a good transitioning phase to go back into shuffling:b good luck.

Architect 2 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 spinning from the running man is a good start i think if you can do the runningman. so if we think of the runningman as three steps.. 1) feet are planted and spaced out kinda like a ^ 2) then feet are brought into the middle and placed together, except one is slightly raised above the ground 3) feet return to this ^ position. except the foot you lifted off the ground is now flipped, and is now your leading foot. remeber that the foot that isnt being picked up is always sliding. also keep in mind this depends on which foot you start with as your lead, but its the same thing, just reverse it. okay now that we cleared up how to do the runningman to do a spin from the runningman: go to step 2 of the runningman tutorial i wrote your feet should be side-by-side and one should be up. in my case, its my right foot that is lifted up. okay then, simply pivot on your left foot. you can use the balls of your foot to move so you will be on your tiptoes turning. and you want to turn 180 degrees, so you should be turned around backwards now. while doing this with your left foot, just keep your right foot in the air and make it follow the direction your left foot is going in. (i like to turn clockwise, so both my feet are going to the right). thenn just plant your left foot in the center of the new ^ or wichever foot you used to pivot, and plant your right foot or whichever one you lifted off the ground in front as your new leading foot. so to recap and help create an image in your mind.. 1)pretend you are facing a blue wall and your back is to a red wall 2)place feet together, but one raised off the ground 3)pivot using your tiptoes on one foot and move the other one that is in the air. keep it in the air 4) plant both feet now, with the one that was in the air as your front foot 5)you should be facing the red wall now repeat these steps to do a full 360 spin. *edit* acttually a 360 is prettymuch the same but your feet will rotate. so the one the is now in front will be the pivot one and the other foot will be picked up. hope this helps & good luck!!

Rorok 8 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I agree with above, i'd make a video, but i honestly havent shuffled in over a year. LMFAO killed my motivation to even think about shuffling. Link to post Share on other sites
Babydoll41 1 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 The only reason I still shuffle is because I'm too lazy to play sport. Link to post Share on other sites
