Turns come naturally to some dancers but a lot of us dancer are constantly battling to do good turns. The only way to spin like a dancer is to learn everything in dance.

Do you mean pirouettes? Or fouettes? There are many turns in ballet. Well,you can't just pick it up. It's not an easy thing to do. If you want to spin like a ballet dancer,take up ballet. It's something you can't learn online,because you could be doing the incorrect thing and it takes practice and practice. That's how the pros achieve that

Well spin isn't specific enough for anyone to clearly answer your question. There are many different types of turns in ballet. But if you really want some help ask your ballet teacher.

If you're referring to a pirouette, it takes a long time and a lot of practice. but a way to get started if your a new dancer or want to learn is to prep, open, and spot.

the others are right u know, there are lots of different turns in ballet, and not all are exactly easy. it takes practise and it definetly helps if u've been dancing for a while. but u can try youtube...

And no offense but it's not something that you can just pick up and imitate at the drop of a hat. It takes real training.
