Yes Deadstick, spins are fun, you can search Youtube an find me spinning a Cessna Grand Caravan during flight testing.

However, as this is a discussion about starting PPL training, it is most helpful to give advice which promotes development of basic skills, as building blocks for further learning. I have had requests to "show" this or that. When I was less good at instructing, I might have. More recently, I would weigh carefully any possible benefit, and judge if the student is ready to experience the next skills. Having a windshield full of spinning world is a necessary skill for every pilot to recover, but later in the learning. Best to create a good set of basic skills first, and save the fancy stuff till later.
