Fallaway Reverse and

Waltz figure

Fallaway Reverse and
Level
Gold (ISTD); (-) (IDTA)
Timing
(1&23), (12&3) or (123&)
Rotation
¾ to ⅞ to Left
Notes
IDTA Syllabus: The Fallaway Reverse and Slip Pivot is not listed in the 
IDTA Waltz syllabus, nor is it charted in Guy Howard's The Waltz and Basic Principles. However, the book does list it under 'Figures Common to more than one Dance.' It is unclear whether this makes it a legal figure to compete in IDTA syllabus Waltz, and if so, at what level it is to be taught.
