They say that if you see the dancer in this video spinning clockwise, you're right-brained. Counter-clockwise, left-brained. Supposedly, more people will see counter-clockwise.
Which way (clockwise or counter-clockwise) do you see the dancer spinning?
I assure you, you can see her spinning the other way just by questioning your perception.
I saw clockwise, at first and was very frustrated that I couldn't see the other rotation.
If you get to this point, look in the "comments" section of this post for a couple of hints.

Some tips:
1. It helps to focus on her legs and decide which one is rotating in front of the other.
2. There is a point of symmetry between the two rotations, which is when her legs overlap. If you get good at seeing both rotations, you can instantly alternate half-rotations in each direction, originating at this point.
3. (this is the big one) If you are seeing clockwise rotation, you see her right leg extended outward. If you see counter clockwise rotation, it is her left leg.
4. If you tend to notice the physics of things, you'd notice that the clockwise rotation is more balanced and in the counter-clockwise rotation, it looks like she might slip because she is spinning off her heel.
