Headspin

A headspin is an athletic move in which a person balances on their head while rotating along the vertical axis of their body, usually without any other form of support.

The move is commonly employed in the Afro-Brazilian martial art, Capoeira and in breakdancing.

Though b-boy Kid Freeze is sometimes credited with having invented the headspin, the first known footage of the move is seen in the 1933 film, Wild Boys of the Road.

One of the film's protagonists Edward 'Eddie' Smith, played by Frankie Darro, performs a Headspin at the 67 minute mark.

The dancer, Olav Thorshaug, performed Norwegian hallingdans shows in the United States of America around 1910-1920, incorporating the headspin in his dance.
