Answer 1

Dance paws are supposed to provide traction, so it's harder to turn in them. Also, it could have been the surface you were on--it's usually harder to turn somewhere that's more slippery because you overspin many times, which causes you to fall out. It also could be simply because you're not used to them. They take time to get used to, so just be patient.  

Answer 2

The Original and Padded Dance Paws have the same smooth synthetic suede sole that's perfect for turning. The Original is a thin sole for those who want to feel the floor as much as possible. The Padded is for people who have injured or tender feet, or who want a little bit of cushion for landing a little softer on hard floors. They both protect your skin so you can learn to turn without tearing up your feet.

Answer 3

When you are turning think about pushing your leg and the ball of your foot into the ground. At the same time think about lifting your body upwards. This should counter resistance should improve your turn!!

Answer 4

they are really slippery....so just practice alot!
