2. Pretend you spin to the left. On a backspin, what foot are you spinning on?

Answer: right

A backspin is when you spin the normal way you spin except it's on the opposite foot.

3. Pretend when you jump, you spin to your left. Which arm is in front when you are preparing for a double loop?

Answer: left

Whenever you are about to take off. Which for the loop, you are always on your inside edge with your right arm forward.

4. There is no difference between ice dancing and pairs skating.

Answer: False

There is a difference. Ice dancing is just like pairs skating but it's more dancing. One thing about the ice dancing blade is it's a little bit shorter than a figure skating blade.

5. In which spin do you spin in a sitting position?

Answer: sit spin

A sit spin is the only spin where you spin in a sitting position. If you spin to your left your right foot is the foot that is in front of you unless you are doing backward sit spin when you spin in the normal direction but your left food is forward.
