Uhm are we talking about the same kick?
The back leg round(house) you can practice some parts by leaning i=on the wall and just work on the mechanics of the kick, like pointing the knee at your target, foot position. done at a lower speed it will also strengthen the muscles needed. The you can kick over the chair or imaginary box...
However, the dizzy making kick I thought Laura was talking about is a back leg spin kick. If you do a lot, you get dizzy, do 5 on one side, 5 on the other leg.
At first you have to do them kinda slow to get the mechanics, but they are easier when you get past that stage and can add some speed.
Same applies as to regular kicks:
Look at your target
Pivot on the leg you are standing on
chamber the leg you kick with.
And give yourself permission to stink at it. it's part of the learning curve. I hope you have the same experience I had as green belt: A new white belt came up to me, after I had stumbled my way through class, learning hook kicks and feeling so clumsy "Where you as uncoordinated when you started as I am?" wondering what she had watched, I realized, that with getting better, my expectations had risen also.
when you work on a bag, find one spot, about hip high to target with your kick. depending on the misses you can adjust what you are doing, rotation aim etc...
