I have to learn to spin. I can spin slowly, no problems, and even medium fast for a short while, but urgh! Fast spins- nooooo!!!! I have to spin fast for the count of sixteen and then hop on alternate feet!
I dutifully practised last night. We had had roast duck for tea. Oh dear. Lots of groaning from me and a glass of cold water needed to prevent immediate up-chucking! Hopping on alternate feet was not an option, it was a case of pressing my hot forehead on the cold glass of the French doors.
My teacher says I'll get used to it. 
I hate motion sickness. I tried spotting to reduce the effects, but it made it worse. Oh the trials and tribulations of a dancer! This dance is going to be a real challenge for me- it has a move that I'm struggling with- the Egyptian walk- and we twirl sticks in our right hands- er, I'm left handed! Everyone is standing well away from me, in case I let go! I must be a real masochist though, because despite all the problems I love it!
