The Drag Quickstep
Notes
The Drag bears a close resemblance to the Cross Chassé, albeit with altered timing, and more rotation. It was used primarily as an exit for the Reverse
Pivot Turn, and later the Reverse Pivot to transition back into a Natural turning figure. The Drag was listed in the Associate Syllabus (Bronze) up until the 6th Edition, then part of the Members' Syllabus (Silver), before it was excised from the 8th Edition of Alex Moore's Revised Technique. The Drag is one of ten figures to have been removed from ISTD Quickstep syllabus.
The Drag 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 Cross Chassé (QQS) begun facing Wall and turning 1/8 to Left – into –
any Natural Figure begun with Man's RF Outside Partner.
