I can easily see her turning in either direction. The main thing I do in my mind is superimpose a "spinning" sound over it, which is the cue I use to make her switch directions. Takes focus loss for a second to re-sync the sound in my head, but once I do, and after a few reversals, I can do it on cue.
Another trick is to imagine that there are two dancers there, each rotating perfectly in sync with one another, but in opposite directions, then just mentally change focus from one to the other.
