Notes
The Quickstep Natural Turn is a hybrid consisting of 1-3 Waltz Natural Turn and steps 4-6 of the Foxtrot Natural Turn. However, unlike its Waltz and Foxtrot counterparts, the Quickstep Natural Turn is not intended to move towards Diagonal Center upon its completion. Rather, it is designed to negotiate a corner (exiting Diagonal Wall of new Line of Dance). For this reason the IDTA syllabus has named it Natural Turn at a Corner.
The Natural Turn in other Figures
1-3 Natural Turn is also part of the following figures and amalgamations:
-Natural Turn w/Hesitation
-Natural Pivot Turn
-Natural Spin Turn
-Natural Turn and Back Lock
-Natural Turn, Backward Lock Step and Running Finish (IDTA)
1-5 Natural Turn
In Syllabus Quickstep, 1-5 Natural Turn (which includes Man's Heel Pull)
is taken as the standard entrance for the Rumba Cross. It may also be followed with 2-4 Forward Lock into Quick Open Reverse.
