Getting a cleaner spot?

[Novaverse]

Hi!

 

I've never noticed a problem with my spot before, but recently one of my teachers pointed out that I tend to end my spot a little bit early and then whip my head around to complete it-- almost like a twitch, or a mid-spot pause. I don't think it's very noticeable-- none of my other teachers have said anything about it-- but I'm having problems getting a consistent double pirouette and I'm trying to attack the issue from all angles.

 

Is there a way for me to get a smoother spot-- an exercise that I'm not remembering or something? I'm kind of stuck.

 

Thanks for your help!

Do you do that little twitch when you are completing a single? Can you end a single pirouette en relevé and hold the retiré momentarily?
