Attitude Spin
Spins Beginner
What is the Attitude Spin?
In the attitude spin, the back leg bends at the knee and lifts out to the side during the spin, creating a long, elegant body line. It is one of the first spins that adds clear leg shape beyond the basic spin.
How to do the Attitude Spin
-
Grip the pole with both hands and set up as you would for a fireman spin.
-
Push off your supporting leg to begin the spin.
-
Bend your back leg at the knee and lift it out to the side at a comfortable angle.
-
Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the spin.
-
Hold the leg shape steady until the momentum ends.
-
Lower the leg gently and land under control.
Common Mistakes
- Lifting the knee too low, so it does not create the intended body line.
- Twisting at the waist instead of staying stable.
- Losing your forward gaze, which hurts your balance.
