I can see her switching spin direction now and then if I continously watch the animation. Looking at the feet alone makes this more likely.

I'm under the impression that it depends on when I naturally blink, for instance when the extended leg is maximally to the left or right. Maybe that brief interruption of the visual stream allows for reclassifying the visual information instead of fitting it onto an existing pattern.
