Fouette Turns???

In my duet, my dance instructor wants me to do 6 fouette turns. How do I keep my balance? My instructor says I do this "double spot" thing where I spot in 2 places...? Any dancer, please give me advice!!! Thank you.

Fouettes are VERY hard to nail, but trying the following can help you greatly!

-Spotting is essential. Honestly, I have no idea how spotting in two places could help you, because whenever you spot a point you have a tendency to want to land there. So you wouldn't land in the correct spot. But just pick one point at eye level, and as your turning don't take your eyes off of it until you can't look at it anymore, then turn your head back to your focal point. You will feel your body turning with your head.
-Having correct arms will help your fouette too! While in passe, your arms should be rounded a little bit above your belly button, but not very high. Open them up almost into second when you come down off the fouette and are about to start another. Then round them again.
-Practice fouettes without turning. Releve into the air and do every step in a fouette, just don't turn. This will also greatly help you find your balance.

Trust me, these are not easy to get, but you will! Also, once you get it, you will be able to remember how it feels to do them correctly, and replicate it everytime! Just practice, practice, practice!

Good luck!
