So I'm glad I'm not the only one that is puzzled by the not-a-spin spin in the yoyo.

The catapult arm thing seems to be a bit like a backward under-arm bowling manoeuvre, but as I don't play cricket, I'm not 100% sure how good a description that is. From what I understand, you "signal" with a cupped hand-hold, you then sweep your arm backwards in a circle until it's up in the air, at which point the girl should have done whatever it is she's doing (that I can't see because it's all happening behind me!) and the arm comes back out at the same time as you catch her other hand with your left. I'll leave thinking about the spin bit for another time.

Nice idea, but I think I'll wait before trying this until I'm a little bit more advanced.

Our teacher and taxi dancers have emphasised stepping back on the left a lot. They must want us to do that for some reason.

Thanks guys! I guess what I really need is practice. Just have to find someone who's willing to work with me... Hmmm...
