Spot. turn your face with your body

Answer 3

It is normal to get dizzy while doing pirouettes when you first start ballet. You just have to spot an object while you are turning. For example, if you are facing a door, spot the door k**b. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

spot spot spot it can be hard but it is the trick

spotting:turing and looking or trying to look at a spot the whole time whip your head around

Answer 5

when you first start, yeah. dancers spot. its when you pick a stationary object in front of you, and you look at it then while you turn, you want to look at it for as long as you can and then when you turn your head you want to find it as fast as possible. it takes practice so dont worry about it. they should teach you about it soon enough in class. good luck:-)

Answer 6

Its called spotting. When you face the mirror, do a spin and try to not look at anything on the way around until you get back to your self in the mirror...spin your head around with your body!

Answer 7

idk if in your ballet class your going to be doing alot of turns,

because typically for beginners they start with the basics like

turnout and pointing and so on, but when you do start turns

youll be taught how to spot, and that means you basically find

something to stare at while your turning, it will get you around

easier, and faster, but no worries right now, youll learn it =)

Answer 8

SPOT!!!!! you need to look at something and try to never take your eyes off of it. ex. if you are doing a pirrouette, spot yourself in the mirror.  

Answer 9

yes its normal...when spinning or doing turns you have to spot..which means pick one subjuect on the wall and stare at it the whole time...so you will whip ur head around. Try to keep ur eye on that spot at all times.it will hlp u from getting so dizzy and keep you on a staighter path. Good Luck
