I suppose the intent is that being able to do a double spin means that your single spins and turns should be really snappy. Hence, lasso moves should be smooth, etc., etc.

yup , know what you mean, a well executed lasso "spin" much nicer to see than my kind of sloppy one!


P.S. now I think about it there is a move that's often much easier to do after a double spin -- called the pick yourself up off of the floor I believe it's common to many dance styles. [/quote]

been close but never quite had to remember this move yet!!!


Further adventures in spinning - was watching some Salsa dancers on Saturday night where the girl was "spinning" while the guy held her hand above her head and led her in the spin incredibly fast and for 5 or 6 revolutions on the spot. She also did the really groovy headback thing to make a different shape...racking my brain from Blackpool and Hammersmith but can't picture it....do we bring this "spin" (that obviously requires fantastic frame) into modern jive ever??

Should we???
