This is absolutely the best lesson on spotting that I have ever seen. It has always been a mystery to me. No one ever explained that you need to practice just the spotting technique BEFORE you start practicing the actual turns. Eureka! Thank you!❤

I followed your method and it works perfectly well and to avoid dizziness, I just turn opposite direction and I am OK.😅😊

Is it typical to struggle with spotting if someone has years of figure skating background?

wish I had you as my teacher when I was doing my ballet lessons. That was absolutely the best on how to do turns and spotting .

This is so wonderful! I actually remember practicing an exercise like this with my Ballet teacher but it was so long ago I had forgotten about it. I'm definitely going to start practicing this again and I'll do it with my own students too. Thank you!

how do you feel about using the spot in attitude turns? I just don’t think it’s necessary or even possible.. but there’s a point of focus like in all turns. Balanchine didn’t use spot in attitude or arabesque turns.

figure skater dont spot because we're spinning so much faster than an ballerina can spin, and if we try to spot it will cause us to lose balance and fall out of the spin.

you can clearly see from the video that this movement is performed too late (a mistake passed down through generations). At the maximum lateral position of the head, the muscles tense up/the tendon protrudes. This makes the "spot" slower. In the last few centimetres, the head is unfortunately tilted and "swings" around. The "spot" thus becomes a "reaction", but - performed earlier and actively - should be an "action" that gives the pirouette additional rotational energy. Please no contraforce....and please watch perfect pirouettes in slow motion!
