Spiral [Abbreviations] sprl
A solo action. Turn in place on ball of supporting foot in direction opposite to supporting foot (on left foot, turn right). A full spiral is 7/8 turn; ends with the legs quite tightly twisted, ankles together. Usually, you will take a "step/spiral." Don't make the mistake of anticipating the turn. Step, get your body stably balanced over that supporting foot, and only then sharply turn on that spot.
