Is this for ice skating? Because it was in the ice skating section...

I will answer it for ice skating.

(If it is ice skating, I assume you mean spin, not twirl.)

You have to start with a lot of space between your arms and legs. I forgot what it's called... I think the distance in the axis of your rotation. If it's a smaller space to spin, it will spin faster. So if you slowly bring your arms and legs in, rather than bringing it in fast. If you bring it in fast, rather than slow, the spin will die out faster after it rotates quickly. Rather than that, you want to bring it in slow so it slowly gets faster and faster and when you finally lose speed you pull out of the spin in landing position. (When you do a windup from crossovers.)

Hope that helped... ;)

Edit:

I think you're talking about baton twirling because I just 'googled' highschool twirl team, because I realized figure skating usually isn't on a highschool team.

Heh... Sorry I can't help...

Are you asking about baton twirling? This doesn't seem like an ice skating question

I spin faster when I start off with more speed that helps me!!! :)

start with your arms and legs farther away from your body then bring them as close as you can and as fast as you can
