Well first off, don't think of it as spinning. A spin is an out of control thing. A turn is controlled and takes balance and strength. You might want to do some exercises like crunches do stregthen your core because good turns come from holding your stomach and back muscles in place. First do four releves bringing your foot to posse and try to balance as long as you can. The longer you can balance in the postition the longer you turn. Then do four single pirouttes. Then work on your doubles. Make sure to hold your core tight and spot by wipping your head around to look at something in front of you. Hopefully this will help.

very hard to explain

Here's a video I found on youtube for you, hope it helps. Happy dancing!

think up. the better your posture the easier it is. also practice balancing with out spinning. The longer you can hold the easier it will be. make sure that you don't over cross your prep or it can throw you off balance. hope something helps. the best of luck to you :)
