The natural spin turn is a ballroom dance step used in the waltz. It is typically used to advance a couple 54 of a turn down line of dance, although an underturned spin turn is also very useful for turning a corner. The natural spin turn is also considered an intermediary step toward learning pivots.[1]

Underturned spin

The underturned spin is a useful variation on the natural spin turn that allows a leader to navigate a corner. The step is identical to the natural spin turn but only rotates 38 of a turn on the pivot (beat 4) instead of 12, and 14 of a turn on 4 to 6 instead of 38.[3] This reduces the total amount of rotation by 14 of a turn.
