Notes
The Outside Spin is a family of figures that all begin with the Man's LF Back (Lady's RF Forward Outside Partner). It consists of the following:
A) The Outside Spin turns 1 full turn and ends with the Man ready to step RF Forward into any Natural Figure.
B) The Underturned Outside Spin turns between ½ and ¾ to R, and ends with the Man ready to step RF Back as would be the case after a Natural Spin Turn.
C) The Overturned Outside Spin turns 1 and ½ turns and ends with the Man ready to step RF Forward into any Natural Figure.
A) and B) are legal at their respective levels in both the ISTD and IDTA syllabi. The Overturned Outside Spin C) is a more recent development, the legality of which is in the gray area of individual interpretation.
We recommend that syllabus competitors consult their instructors and/or adjudicators before using the Overturned Outside Spin in competition.

There are two Outside Spins video, an Overturned Outside Spin and an Underturned Outside Spin:
1. Occurs at 0:42 - Overturned Outside Spin
Entry Figure: 1-3 Weave from PP (Not Syllabus)
(See Waltz Video Analysis)
Exit Figure: Natural Spin Turn
This is the Overturned Outside Spin. It begins in the alignment of an Underturned Outside Spin (backing Diagonal Wall) and rotates
1 and ½ turns to face Diagonal Wall.
2. Occurs at 1:15 - Underturned Outside Spin
