Tips For Better Spins

If you’ve ever struggled with balance, timing, or feeling totally lost when it comes to turning in Two Step (or any other country dance), this video is going to change the game for you. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Anthony and Rose walk through six of the most important concepts for better turns—from understanding how much you’re actually supposed to turn (hint: it’s probably more than you think), to learning when to start that rotation, and how to lead or follow it without forcing anything. You’ll learn why turns in Two Step usually default to a 1½ rotation, what “Ask, don’t tell” means in partner dancing, how spotting works (and why looking at your partner while turning is a bad idea), and how to stop losing balance by getting your blocks of weight stacked vertically. This one’s packed with useful insights, real talk, and analogies you’ll actually remember the next time you hit the dance floor. Watch it once, and you’ll never think about turning the same way again.
