These are general instructions on how to do Single Spins. The arm positions and signals required will be covered in the relevant moves' charts.
Bar 1 shows how to do a CCW Spin. Bar 2 shows how to do a CW Spin.
Only Follower's footwork is shown.
Lead's footwork is exactly the same but four beats ahead/behind Follower's footwork. So on the first beat (B1) Lead does Follower's fifth beat (B5) footwork.
