    So far what you're doing is spinning. You haven't really hit the center
    yet. To improve spinning it helps to try to hold a certain size of
    circle and continue pedaling. This will teach you how to even things
    out while maintaining the spin.

    For the pirouette, you have to ride into the center of your spin and
    stop pedaling, without falling down or having to ride out backwards.
    That's why polishing the spin is helpful. Try to pedal into the center
    and stop with your feet at or near horizontal. At the same time, when
    you hit the center pull your arms in to help you spin faster. Keep your
    arms out when working on a spin of constant speed, as it'll keep you
    from going too fast.

    Thanks for the video! Having something to look at can help us provide
    you with specific information based on what we saw. Don't make the next
    video until you've spent at least a few hours on the above, and
    probably other advice below this.
