One Spin

To do a one spin you have to know how to do a thumb toss and a half flash. First, you should do a half flash to start the move and while you do that you also pull-up so you are standing almost on your toes with your right foot slightly in front of your left foot. Then, you do a thumb toss which should probably be medium-high. While the baton is in the air you then will spin once under the toss by pushing off with your right foot and spinning on your left foot, but make sure you don't wait too long or toss and spin at the same time when you do this move or the baton won't go where you want it to. Also, while you are spinning make sure you are pulled up and your arms and are very close to you and your right foot is pulled in close to your left leg so you will go around faster and once you get better/faster you could be able to do a two spin, which is about the same except you have to toss the baton slightly higher and you have to spin two times under the toss.
