One of the biggest things I have been shown is to prepare for a spin by twisting your body in the opposite direction. So if you want to spin to your right, you start with your weight on your left foot, and your body twisted to the left. To spin, you step onto your right, untwist your body, and you should get enough momentum to get round the spin.
This action happens naturally when spinning in Ceroc. Think of any move like a Yoyo, or First Move. Just before the spin, you are twisted in the opposite direction. And when you do a return, you have usually just spun the other way, and are already twisted.
But when you are trying to show someone how to spin, they are usually just standing normally, and have not prepared in any way. You have to be a very good dancer to create a spin from nothing.
