The footwork I was taught for spins, etc., was:
"Start position: Left (right) foot forwards and (consequently) right (left) foot back.
start. To spin anti-clockwise (clockwise) on the left (right) foot, whilst bringing the right (left) foot to close feet together.
1. Stop the spin by braking onto the right (left) foot, in-place.
2. If led to step away, then step backwards onto the left (right) foot — returning to the opposite starting position, i.e. right (left) foot forwards and (consequently) left (right) foot back..
Note: The foot that is spun on, is the same foot that steps backwards on the last step."
Coincidentally, it is pretty similar to the footwork used to do single spins in Salsa.
