Right hand: You start in a standing position. Then you cross your left leg over your right leg. Now you want to try doing a cartwheel with putting your left hand down first then your right. When you are doing this you want to kick up with your right leg then your left (this may feel akward at first but if you do this correctly it makes it much easier). Instead of doing a complete cartwheel, you want to stop half way and balance on your right hand. If you crossed your legs correctly you should be ready to start spinning. just push off with your left and bring your legs together. You sould spin in the clock-wise direction and lead with your head. The TRICK to spinning is that you have to spin on the correct part of your hand or else you will not spin at all. You want to spin on the lower part of your palm, there is kind of a hard bone there, and you also want to lift up you fingers so that they do not cause friction. If you have trouble lifting up you fingers it helps to bend your elbow a little bit. It may be hard to do at first but the better your body is balanced over your right hand the longer you will spin.
