- rubber soles make it harder
- feet close together during spin - no flamingoes
- spin starts with upper body not legs so 'wind up' a bit in the opposite direction for a bit of impetus.
If really struggling, exercises like stand on one foot and do 1/8 turns maintaining balance, progressing to 1/4 turns etc.
I encourage practice - a minute or two per day, which is how I progressed from totally crap to occasionally Ok. They never do though

Thanks, Chris, good points there. Particularly the balance exercises - I like that.
I always tell ladies that the shoes make a hell of a difference. Spinning's just so much easier when you've got leather soles on a slippery dance floor! All you need then is a bit of balance...
