Rasa Pauzaite: 5 Tips For Successful Double Spins in Salsa

Rasa Pauzaite - 5 Tips For Successful Double Spins in Salsa

Rasa's Top 5 Tips was launched with a video on how to achieve success in spinning for salsa and bachata. So far, this has proved to be one of my most successful tips videos yet, and I have been delighted to receive such a positive reaction. With this in mind, I have taken the next step to help you to continue developing your spinning technique.

This video focuses on the technique required for a double spin and how you can improve and practise your technique before taking to the social dance floor. I hope you find it useful - please let me know in the comments what you think!

1:38 Tip 1: Get Comfortable with 1 Spins
2:48 Tip 2: Momentum (Use Your Core)
5:03 Tip 3: Arms (Bring them in - for Speed)
6:36 Tip 4: Control (How to stop - using your hips)
8:56 Tip 5: Eliminate Fear - go for it!

** Tip 4 - very powerful tip - stopping BEFORE you actually want to stop - (because stopping your body - like stopping your car - takes time - you need to hit the brakes BEFORE you actually want to stop!)

** Tip 1
When I started learning to spin - I found it VERY hard to do even one full spin. The unlock for me was to practice 1/4 and 1/2 spins (like I do in the tutorials on my channel).
I think most of us want to do the double spin - and think there's a DIFFERENT technique to do them - but in my opinion - IT IS THE SAME TECHNIQUE - and the same 3 fundamentals apply (check my channel to see what are the 3 Fundamentals)

💪 Challenge example: try to do 1/4 or 1/2 spin (whatever technique you want) and try to finish the spin with your leg UP - NOT TOUCHING the floor - and check if this easy for you - if it's not easy for you - it is a very good exercise for you to work on your stability while doing only 1/4 1/2 or 3/4 spin (In my opinion this is a very effective drill that can help you with all spins you do- including DOUBLE SPINS)

Reply to this comment after trying the exercise.
and remember (like in tip 5) practice isn't the thing you do once you are good...practice is the only thing that makes you good (So Eliminate the fear! and keep practicing!)

Hi Rasa! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! Could you do a video for double spin for men in bachata?

[Twigz]

Thank you so much Rasa your videos are so informative (and funny too!). Do you have any tips on how to follow well when it comes to spins in socials? I find it a lot easier to keep them controlled by myself but sometimes I feel like I feel the signal for the second turn late so it’s not as “neat”. Hopefully that makes sense 😅 Thank you again!
