What is a "layback spin"?
A layback spin is a figure skating move where the skater rotates on one foot while leaning their upper body backward, creating an arch with their back. The skater's arms are usually extended to help maintain balance, and one leg is typically held straight while the other leg is bent. This spin emphasizes flexibility, balance, and control, as the skater must maintain the backbend while spinning. The layback spin is often performed with elegance and is a visually striking element that adds beauty and difficulty to a routine.
