 Another idea, which I think would be interesting is to have a friend standing by close and while the man is spinning get her to take your place, I would be very interested in the man's reaction (assuming he noticed in the first place  )Quote:
 though last night I managed a couple of quadruple (quintuple?) spins, but I was too busy to notice what my partners were doing at the time!  Franck. | ||

The difference, though, is that the men choose when to turn and return their lady. So, if you are getting bored waiting you only have yourself (sorry, that should be 'yourselves' - general) to blame. Quote:
 I take it that means you really didn't notice??!  Janet | ||

 I think, Franck, you should apologise for the remark above...they're both better dancers and better lookers than me

 Ok, then I apologize, anyway I should have known it was not you Stuart, you do not lead as strongly as Wendy or Janet! /Franck runs away quickly before getting hit/ Franck. | |

Maybe an other time... On the subject of spinning, after a really good week-end in Aberdeen where I felt able to spin easily, yesterday I could not double spin to save my life... I kept losing my balance  I wonder what influences my ability to spin... Same shoes etc... Franck. | |

Reputation Total: 83 | I just thought i'd let everyone know my useless information  Just humour me for a second...... Most guys who have danced with me will know i can't....(but am frantically trying to learn!) to spin on my right foot. Well whadda ya know......on Sunday, with help from John in Dundee (cheers  ) i did a double spin on my RIGHT foot!! Did it a few times actually and was well chuffed Wow doesn't it feel great when it all comes together? Now i just gotta learn the one where the man spins you from behind by the waist filthycute x x |

For some reason, spinning is one of those things that can give you a huge sense of achievement... Now you'll have to start practising the cross spin (ie spin to the right on your left foot and and vice versa, starting by crossing the spinning foot in front). Franck. | |

Maybe we should start a self-help group for spinning?! Some nights I can double spin with (relative) ease. (OK, I admit that ...actually, no I don't... 2 spins.) Other times I can bearly get round once without falling over. I have no idea why. And no, before anyone else suggests it, it has nothing to do with alcohol! I also find that my ability to spin varies drastically during the course of an evening. There is no point in even attempting more than one spin until after the intermediate class and it is the first thing to go when I get tired: cf that repeating yo-yo. Janet | |

Reputation Total: 743 | Way-hey! I managed a double spin last night - not a great one, but I kept my footing and stayed more or less in the same place Unfortunately, I was dancing with Wendy at the time (bear with me Wendy, this is a complement!), and she double-spinned the same move - obviously much better than me - so no-one noticed! I did have to give myself a wee push with my feet between spins though. Continuing the role reversal thing last night I found out what a catapult looks like from the lady's perspective. It's really weird - like reversing a car into a tunnel, then getting out on the passenger side is the only way I can describe it

"...so no-one noticed!" he he, I am sure you did it for yourself, and not to show off ! "I did have to give myself a wee push with my feet between spins though." Yes, a useful trick that one, I find I do that for the 4th/ 5th spin... "Continuing the role reversal thing last night I found out what a catapult looks like from the lady's perspective. It's really weird - like reversing a car into a tunnel, then getting out on the passenger side is the only way I can describe it "This sounds really weird now !? What kind of drugs were you on yesterday? I think the Catapult is a great move (from a woman's perspective). Keep up the spinning... Franck. | |

Reputation Total: 59 |  TRIPLE SPIN!!! Just to update you all my spinning progress... I did my first triple spin last night! Hurrah! Thanks for the momentum Franck!And double spins have been making appearances in freestyle recently too! I'm surprising myself at the amount of satisfaction I can get out of something so small...  Keep spinning! Jayne |

Though I admit it takes two to Ceroc! Anyway back to spinning (there goes another thread well off-topic). The treble spin was very impressive indeed, and I hardly had enough time to get bored and try out some of the earlier suggestions! It was nice to see Mairi teaching the Almost Pretzel (just for you not doubt! )Franck. | |
