Quality matters! Do not be fooled by our new competitor! The original wooden spinner! Buy from the best. Step & Spin by Holysalchow Our Spinners are made especially for figure skaters and dancers! Our unique wooden spinner allows skaters and dancers to work on positioning and mainly gives them the ability to practice their spins off the ice. The Step & Spin spinner is made from top grade select pine and is preferred by coaches and skaters over the plastic, square and circular competitors spinners. This spinner works on any smooth surface and is so small your skater or dancer can take it anywhere! Step up to the Best! Step & Spin Spinner by Holysalchow Before using our spinner, please make sure that your skater or dancer has plenty of room. The spinner should always be used in an open area free of furniture and always on a hard surface such as wood floors or linoleum. If you are worried about scratching your hard wood floors or your home has carpet we recommend going to your local home improvement store where they usually have scrap pieces of linoleum they will give you. I would recommend getting a piece approximately 3 x 3 or larger. We strongly recommend that you do not take the spinner outside to use such as in a garage or sidewalk unless your dancer or skater continues to use on these surfaces—-the reason for this is because the wood will pick up tiny rocks, dirt and debris and will more than likely scratch your hardwood floors. Some skaters or dancers prefer to use our spinner bare-footed and some prefer athletic shoes. I would advise to not use in socks as it may be slippery. Instructions for basic use will come with the spinner. Allow at least a week for your dancer/skater to get use to the feel of the spinner. It takes time to find their center balance but after they get comfortable with it they will be doing all kinds of spins and even jumps before long. So save the money you spend for ice time and learn your spinners faster!
