Hi Stewart,
I have tried to spin ( myself ) and do doubles. I find I get dizzy very quickly.
Things improved when a taxi-dancer helpfully reminded me to return myself, i.e. spin the other way.
I still can't spin well, but am concentrating on improving my dancing in other ways, so have abandoned doubles just now.
I do tend to lead a lot of spins, and turns, and have to discipline myself to try to keep balancing things out between clockwise and counter-clockwise turns.
It was very inspiring just before Christmas in Glasgow one tuesday, when I saw a chap, Rob or Rod from Northern England ( danced with a woolly hat ).
His style was constantly turning the lady backwards and forwards, for almost the whole dance. His partner, a taxi dancer seemed to be loving it. What made it so good to watch was the variation in moves CW and CCW .
These are my observations, and I am afraid I don't know if they are much help.
Perhaps other forumites could comment on whether :-
If the man is constantly spinning one way, can you hi-jack a return ?
