Notes
The Double Reverse Spin is listed as Bronze in the ISTD syllabus and Gold in the IDTA syllabus. Our explanation for this disparity is that the ISTD requires some difficult step patterns to be learned earlier, while the IDTA ranks the figures in ascending difficulty. From the earliest editions Alex Moore's Revised Technique onwards, the Double Reverse Spin is listed in the Associate Syllabus (Bronze), indicating that it was viewed as a core Quickstep figure from the very beginning.
Also listed in our old syllabi is the Double Natural Spin, which sadly is no longer part of the ISTD or IDTA step lists.
