A flat hand hold is the standard signal, used to signify a spin. If you were being taught a flat hand hold for a turn, that's a bit weird...

Catapult is one of those weird moves that only comes with practice, timing-wise; don't worry about it, keep using it and it'll "click" at some point.

Hmm, not sure if that's possible in Ceroc - just step back on the foot you feel most comfortable on, I think most teachers say. Although I'm not sure if that's Ceroc Gospel.
