Multiple Spin (Controlled Triple)

Three (or more) continuous rotations of the follow from a single, strong prep. It's the showpiece turn — and the least forgiving, because all the information has to be in the prep before she even starts. Get the wind-up right and she'll turn cleanly and stop exactly where you want her.

• Lead: Give a very clear, generous prep — this is where the whole turn is won. Keep a calm, high axis and let her turn; don't keep pumping the arm. Then catch and stop her cleanly.
• Follow: Spot hard, keep everything stacked over your axis, and engage your core. Land on balance; don't let the extra rotations drift you off-line.
• Timing: Big prep on the tap, three rotations across the 8, clean stop.
• Common mistake: A weak prep and then forcing the spins from the arm — that's how balance and timing both collapse. Don't lead this when she's tired (end-of-night fatigue is exactly when multi-spins go wrong).

The controlled top of the turn ladder, built on the 360 (B089) and Double Turn (B017). Per safe-dance guidance, multi-turns aren't dangerous if the prep is clear and the follow has core control — so we teach the prep as the main event. A willing, fresh partner only.
