The natural spin turn is a ballroom dance step used in the Waltz. It is typically used to advance a couple 7/8ths 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.

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 3/8 of a turn on steps 1-3 and 3/8 of a turn on 4-6.
