@xXAznblushieXx They spot when they turn. It's when someone while turning keeps their eyes on one spot. They do this by quickly whipping their head at the right time to keep their eyes on the spot. Notice her head is moving at: 0:47, 0:54 . You tend not to spot on slow turns like at: 0:24.

I'm not a Chinese dancer.I am a dancer.(I've done French Ballet for 8 years there are slight similarities between it & some Chinese Dances) Also hip-hop, Japanese fan, bellydance, African (mostly self taught)
