Which way is this dancer spinning – clockwise or counter-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

From The Daily Telegraph

For what it’s worth, she went counter-clockwise for me.  Then I "made" her go clockwise, and now I can’t get it back to counter-clockwise.
