This move starts in the same way as a Spin Out, and this is what the follower expects the move to be.
However, as the follower begins her spin, the leader keeps hold of her right hand so that her right arm wraps
across her body, stopping the spin. The leader then pulls on the hand to reverse the direction of the spin.
