Reverse Turn Quickstep
Notes
The Reverse Turn is the antecedent to both the Chassé Reverse Turn and the
Quick Open Reverse, and is the Quickstep equivalent of the Waltz Reverse Turn.
The Reverse Turn was listed in the Associate Syllabus (Bronze) of every edition of Alex Moore's Revised Technique up until the 8th Edition of 1976. The
Reverse Turn is one of ten figures to have been removed from ISTD syllabus.
The Reverse Turn is a fine example of Ballroom's origins in social dancing, and as such should be viewed more historically than competitively. It consists of the following:
1-3 Foxtrot Reverse Turn (SSS) begun facing LOD and turning 1/2 to Left –
into – Heel Pivot (Quarter Turn to Left) (SQQS) turning 3/8 to Left to face DW.
1-3 Reverse Turn
Alex Moore notes that 1-3 Foxtrot Reverse Turn (SSS) may be used as an entry for a Progressive Chassé or Four Quick Run.
