2. Bring left knee up to waist and turn through 90 degrees clockwise on right leg. Arms still held out to side Photograph: Felix Clay/Guardian

3. Maintain the position while spinning through another 90 degrees. As you turn through a further 90 degrees, gradually lower your leg and prepare your right foot for the dismount Photograph: Felix Clay/Guardian

4. Bring your legs together and leap into the air and off your right foot. Your arms should now rise above the horizontal while waving the hankies Photograph: Felix Clay/Guardian
