I'm very much enjoying and following your instruction... You gave a link for the beautiful waltz music in one of your videos but now I cannot find it. Could you possibly link again please? Thank you so much...
I have a dance instructor for who told me that it’s not possible to do pivot turns socially, and that they’re only done during choreographies. Is this true?
Thanks for interesting question. Social dancers and social dancing styles differ. I think that one pivot or natural spin turn is possible for social dancing if both dancers know these movements.
SenPin TravMom To keep your balance, keep your body inline, keep your knees bent even more than normal almost in a squatting position, don’t do any rising during the pivots- you can add rise when you have balance, keep your left side very strong as strong as you make it, make sure you spot with your head, practice against a wall use it for balance, practice by your self and as slowly as you can and speed up as your balance improves. Have a look at “brocketteambrocket”. For more technique.
Natural Pivot Turn consists of first four steps on Natural Spin Turn. There is small difference in Lady's footwork in fourth step: in Natural Pivot Turn - HTH (Heel Toe Heel); in Natural Spin Turn - HT (Heel Toe).

How do you keep the balance when you do the continuous pivot turns? I guess we’ll just have to do it ...practice practice practice.
You start with balance in small amount of Turn and then gradually turn more until 1/2 Turn per weight transfer or step
Grazie maestro!

Jeran, welcome 👍
Can someone explain what pivot is? Im just interested in this kind of stuff
Pivot is turning on ball of one foot, at same time keeping other foot in CBMP (forward or backward).
Egils Smagris thank you!
To pivot is to spin on one axis like a top.
