===Dance spins===
There are two types of dance spins: the solo spin and the combination spin.<ref name="S&P/ID2018-125">S&P/ID 2021, p. 125</ref> The ISU defines a dance spin as "a spin skated by the Couple together in any hold".<ref name="S&P/ID2018-125" /> The ISU also states, "It should be performed on the spot around a common axis on one foot by each partner simultaneously".<ref name="S&P/ID2018-125" /> The combination spin is defined as "a spin performed as above after which one change of foot is made by both partners simultaneously and further rotations occur".<ref name="S&P/ID2018-125" /> The solo spin, or pirouette, is allowed and defined as "a spinning movement performed on one foot",<ref name="S&P/ID2018-125" /> with or without the partner's assistance, performed by both partners at the same time but around separate centers. The ISU announces dance spin variations or combinations at the beginning of each season.<ref>S&P/ID 2021, p. 127</ref>

Dance spins have three positions. The upright position is done on one foot with the skating leg slightly bent or straight and with the upper body upright, bent to the side, or with an arched back.<ref name="S&P/ID2018-125" /> The sit position is done on one foot, with "the skating leg bent in a one-legged crouch position and with the free leg forward, either to the back or the side".<ref name="S&P/ID2018-126">S&P/ID 2021, p. 126</ref> The camel position is done on one foot, with "the skating leg straight or slightly bent forward, and with the free leg extended or bent forward horizontally or higher".<ref name="S&P/ID2018-126" /> Ice dancers increase the difficulty of their spins by varying the direction of their spinning rotation and by changing how they enter into and exit out of the spin. For the direction of their rotation, they must both change the direction at the same time and complete at least three rotations in each direction. Their entry into their spins must be unexpected, without any evident preparation.<ref>Communication No. 2393, pp. 5–6</ref> Both their entry into and out of their spin, immediately before entering and exiting the spin, must both include a "continuous combination of different creative and/or difficult and/or intricate steps or movements or a continuous combination of both creative and/or difficult and/or intricate step(s)".<ref>Communication No. 2393, p. 6</ref>
