Spotting while executing dance turns is critical. Spotting allows the dancer to do multiple turns without getting dizzy and losing her balance. Spotting should be practiced with a trained professional in order for the technique to be mastered correctly. Practice spotting frequently to perfect it and be comfortable executing spins and turns. You can also increase the difficulty and dramatic effect of your dance routines when you can spot and incorporate several fast turns or spins. Read on to learn spot in dance.
Instructions
1. Find a large, stationary item to focus on. Choose a chair, a picture on the wall, a clock or another clearly visible item in the room.
2. Focus your eyes on the spotting point. Start to turn your body in the direction of the turn. Keep your head pointed towards the spotting point.
3. Rotate your body until you have to turn your neck. Quickly turn your neck and find your spotting point. Continue to rotate your body until your turn is completed.
4. Turn and spot slowly when you are just beginning. Move on to fast turns and spins only after you can spot flawlessly when turning slowly.
5. Practice turning quickly while spotting. Do one turn to begin with, and practice until you can execute the turn.
6. Increase the number of turns you can perform as you practice spotting. Do not increase the number of turns if you get dizzy or loose your balance. Practice until you can get it right.
