Notes
The Closed Impetus can be used in place of any Heel Pull for the man, including after 1-3 Natural Turn, 1-5 Natural Twist Turn, 1-6 Reverse Wave, and steps
1-12 of the Extended Reverse Wave (IDTA only). After a Curved Feather, the first step of the Closed Impetus will be taken Outside Partner.
A note on Syllabus Amalgamations
In the ISTD syllabus, the Closed Impetus is listed in together with the
Feather Finish. This is because the Ballroom Technique lists the Feather Finish is the only permissible ending. However, the IDTA also lists the Reverse Pivot as a possible exit figure. Since our aim is to break each amalgamation into its smallest usable parts, we have listed the Closed Impetus individually.
