For left handed spin:
Step back left, step forward left, spin on left, finish feet together, step back left.
Substitute right for left for right handed spins.
Key points:
- rubber soles make it harder
- feet close together during spin - no flamingoes
- spin starts with upper body not legs so 'wind up' a bit in the opposite direction for a bit of impetus.
If really struggling, exercises like stand on one foot and do 1/8 turns maintaining balance, progressing to 1/4 turns etc.
I encourage practice - a minute or two per day, which is how I progressed from totally crap to occasionally Ok. They never do though
