I think we are talking about different things. The man will always initiate the turn / spin, ie he will lead his partner into a turn / spin. However, the lady will take the lead and initiate a turn / spin either through her own momentum or by using the man's hand as a prop to push against.
Either way, once the turn / spin is signalled, the man becomes pretty passive, only providing resistance to the lady's tension.
I believe this is the best way, as all too often the men try to be overly active and end up de-stabilizing their partners rather than help them.

Nicely put! Cetainly with respect to the lady pushing against the man's hand (ie she uses her hands to spin not her feet).
I'm interested in the concept of "using her own momentum". Is there a move etc that is an example of this for the lady spinning? I feel that I do this when I perform a full man-spin as I have no hand to push from.
