Spotting
During turning actions, holding the head steady, with gaze fixed on a single spot, until the last possible moment of the body's turn, when the head whips around and the gaze focuses again on the dancer's "spot." This snapping of the head not only prevents the dancer from getting dizzy but also gives multiple turns a pronounced rhythm .
