camel spin

Spinning ice arabesque

A camel spin is a figure skating move where the skater spins on one leg with the free leg extended backward, body parallel to the ice in an arabesque position.

The pose resembles a camel's hump.

It's a foundational spin in competitive skating, often combined with other positions: She transitioned from a camel spin into a sit spin.
