Pairs Elements - Pair Spins
Pair skaters can perform some very dramatic spins in pair positions. Pairs skaters actually perform spins in 2 different ways - "side-by-side spins", which are done individually (though hopefully with unison), and "pair spins", in which the skaters are touching while they spin. This page explains the pair spins.
Pair spins may be performed in all of the standard positions (upright, sit, camel) although the positions are modified slightly so all the extra body parts fit together nicely.

Look carefully at these sit spins. Notice that in Christina & Jeff's spin, Jeff is performing a forward spin, while Christina does a back sit. In Danielle and Steve's pair sit spin, both are doing a front sit (both on left leg) |
