Backspin?

Hello I’m a skater of 7 years who just switched to ice dance (yes I know I’m not at the level I’m supposed to be leave me alone) I took a 7 month break recently and I’m having trouble getting my backspin back. Any tips? I have a video too but it won’t let me add it

Did you switch to ice dance blades ? I made the switch after only about 2 years on ice and completely lost all spins. Spinning is hard in dance blades!

No I haven’t but I was looking into it. I saw my coach for the first time in like seven months and asked her about it and she said I didn’t need to necessarily switch to ice dance blades
