According to Matthew David Parker, in most salsa dancing competitions, the method applied does not have to be a hundred percent, but judges are very focused on the turning technique. Practice is essential when planning to perfect your turning technique; it gives the dancer the chance to polish their moves. However, the question remains; how can we develop our techniques?
Spotting forward
Spotting is an important aspect of salsa dancing. When spinning your partner, changing or giving intense multiple turns, ensure that you spot them well. This guarantees that they do not end up falling off their feet but instead get to have the perfect landing.

Weight Shifting on the desired foot
Many dancers usually take for granted the fact that, as they start dancing, they are bound to lose stability and forget how to walk. While stepping on the left foot, ensure to place all your weight on it. The same applies to the right foot.

Turn your feet out and step forward
Keep in mind that every time you step, you need to turn your feet. Avoid turning in while on your toes. When stepping forward ensure that you always pivot. Many dancers are forgetful when it comes to finishing their turns while turning the feet as this causing them to land their foot backward. You can correct the landing by pointing the insteps of your feet and toes towards the intended direction.
Even though you can practice the above on your own, it is wise to seek advice from an expert in the dancing field. If you are in Louisiana, Matthew David Parker and Lafayette Salsa Dance Studio can help you master the dance in no time.
