I have been learning ballroom dancing for over two years. Two months ago I've been taking Professional ballroom dancing lessons and at least one a month, I fall on my back during the spins. No one else in the group of ten people has never even tripped less alone fell. This makes me feel as though I'm not meant to do this and I should just quit...I know this sounds a bit childish but perhaps there's someone out there with experience similar to mine and can provide a few encouragement tips? Thanks

Happens all the time at competitions, did you ever see that? It happens when people rush or try too hard :-)
Don't get discouraged. If it is a trend, address in with your teacher. Sometoimes it helps to ask a different teacher to explain the same thing in different words. It seems like you have something not quite figured out with your balance. If you specified what step are you doing I might even try to help more. You say it happens in spins. What kind? Usually, the rule of thumb is to check if your weight is on the foot or you're attempting them in split-weight, which bring you out of balance and you spin out of control.
I'm trying to think how many times I fell on my butt (literaly) while practicing. I can think of once or twice (in 5 years). I kind of don't keep track of it.

Well, if I had gone through a change from regular to pro then I would be falling too. I don't dance, but last year at prom I busted my tail on the floor bc I can't dance... Like they say, practice makes perfect. Hang in there, in no time you should be ok. In the meantime, try to practice at home doing small twirls and then build up. Hope I helped :)

some people learn dancing while falling down that is abnormal but to fall while learning to dance is normal

If you want to feel better about your dancing, take up roller skating.
