headspins
Skull-pivot dance moves
Headspins is a dizzy, disoriented sensation—the feeling that your head is spinning or that the room is whirling around you.
Often triggered by standing up too quickly, drinking too much, or illness: I got the headspins after that last shot of tequila.
In breakdancing, a headspin is a move where the dancer spins on their head.
