	Figure Skating Spins
		The layback spin is an upright spin, usually performed by women, in which the arms are put in a circle in front of the body and the back arched so that the skater may look to the ceiling; the spin is accelerated by drawing in the arms.
		A camel spin is a spin on one leg with the free leg and upper body extended and parallel to the ice, arm extended upward.
		The upright spin is a standing forward or backward spin on one leg with the free foot next to the skating foot, the side of the toe touching the calf of the skating leg.

	Biellmann Spins
		Starting in an upright spin position, the skater reaches back over her shoulders and grabs the blade of the free foot's skate, which is extended "up" towards the ceiling (the back and body of the skater remain upright too).
		The Biellmann spin that Selena performs here is actually the second part of a combination spin - she demonstrates a very nice quick transition from the camel position to the Biellmann position.
		This spin requires a stretch similar to the Biellmann, except that the freeleg is elevated in the forward position.

		Biellmann spin: A spin in which the free leg extends backwards and upwards at, or above, head level, the arms reach back over the shoulders, and the blade of the free foot is held by one or both hands.
		Butt spin: A spin in which the skater is bent at the waist with the free leg extended downward and upper body extending downward towards the ice, in the form of an inverted "V".
		Biomechanically, the butt spin does not fall into any of the three traditional spin types, since the skating knee is straight and the free leg is held as in an upright spin, but the hip joint is bent past 90 degrees as in a camel spin.

	Figure Skating Journal Glossary, Spins
		Forward spins may also be included in spin combinations as the skater pushes out of a backspin transferring his weight from the right foot to the left.
		While this is the simplest one-foot spin, it occurs often in competitive spin combinations, often serving as a final position before concluding the spin with a flowing exit edge or pivot.
		The camel spin is performed in a spiral position in which the body is tilted forward and the free leg raised.

	Figure skating spins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A crossfoot spin is a back upright spin in which the free leg is crossed behind the skating foot, or the front foot on a back upright is lowered and the spin becomes a two-footed spin.
		A butterfly spin is a flying spin with a near-horizontal body position and scissoring leg action in the air similar to that of the death drop, but it has a two-foot, twisting takeoff rather than an Axel-like takeoff.
		Although she did not originate this spin, Sasha Cohen has been the driving force behind the recent popularity of this difficult set of positions, and the spin is sometimes known amongst fans as a Sasha Cohen spin.

		A skater performing an upright spin in the counter-clockwise direction on the left foot is spinning forwards, and when they change to their right foot they have their back turned to their direction, hence called a back spin.
		Variations of the sit spin include bending the body and head down over the extended leg, bending the leg of the outside of the body (in our imaginary skaters case, the right-hand side) whilst maintaining a low squated position, this is widely reffered to as a 'broken leg' spin.
		The skater enters into this spin as if s/he is going to perform a normal camel (also known as Parallel) spin, but then whips with the free leg into the air, idealy hitting a perfect 90degree angle parallel from the ice, and then landing on the right foot to resume into a back camel spin.

	Iceskate.Net-Figure Skating Terms, Spins
		Usually just referred to as a "back" or "forward" spin, the skater is standing upright with the hands clasped against their body in front (or over the head, wrapped around their waist, etc.) with the free leg crossed closely in front of the skating foot.
		An upright spin, but the back is arched as close to parallel to the ice as possible and the free leg is turned out from the body at the hip with the free foot also parallel to the ice.
		Instead of turning into a sit spin, a sit spin position is taken in the air during a jump and landed in a forward sit spin (or a flying reverse sit spin, which is a change of leg position so you're on a RBO edge).

		Tamara Moskvina was seen with this spin in the 1960s, specifically at the 1965 European Championships.
		There is also the half-Biellmann (also called a catch-foot camel spin), which is a camel spin during which the skater grasps the free blade with either hand and raises the free leg upwards while otherwise maintaining the camel position.

		Centering a spin is the ability to rotate several times in the same spot on the ice.
		If a spin isn't centered, it will "travel," which is kind of like a top wobbling across a table as it slows down.
		Similarly, a beautiful spin is marred by a wobbly exit, so it is important to maintain control throughout.

		The Kwan spin was done as a combination spin, I believe there may have been a change in sit position, and while still in a sitspin position, she held her free skate in her hand, and stood up from the spin holding her leg while spinning.
		I believe it was the very season after this that Sasha did a variation on this, but instead pulled the leg up right over the head, and I believe she did it in a backspin position, whereas Michelle had done it in a regular scratchspin position.
		I was with a group of skating friends the first time we saw Sasha's spin with the leg over the head, and we all thought that it was a gumby-version variation of the Kwan spin, but in a backspin position.
