Spotting

This is a term given to the movement of the head and focusing of the eyes in pirouettes, déboulés, fouetté ronds de jambe en tournant and so on. In these these turns, stationary or traveling, a dancer will fixate on a spot in the room and try to keep the focus there as long as possible while turning. Once the head can not move anymore, it will whip around and refocus on that spot. This is supposed to prevent dancers from getting dizzy.
