Combination Spins

Like jumps, spins can be performed in combination. A combination spin is a sequence of spins which change position (i.e upright-to-sit) or change feet (i.e. sit-to-back sit), or both. Some of the common combination spins include:

• Sit / Sit (change of foot only, often called "Sit-change-Sit"
• Camel-Sit (change of position only - stays on same foot)
• Camel / Sit (change of foot - sometimes called Camel - change - Sit)
• Camel-Sit / Sit (changes position, then changes foot while staying in sit position)
• Camel / Camel (changes foot, no change of position - sometimes called camel change camel)
• Camel-Layback / Sit (changes position, then changes foot AND position)
• Camel-Sit / Camel (very difficult transition from front sit to back camel)

Often on combination spins which change feet, the skater moves to a different "center" (location on the ice) when changing feet. This is undesirable, and is called "re-centering the spin".
