What is this?
Title: Back Feather
Level: (See Notes)
Timing: (SQQ)
Rotation: Up to ⅛ to Right
Notes
In the ISTD syllabus, the Back Feather is listed in conjunction with the 
Curved Feather. However, only in the ISTD syllabus are these two figures

inseparable; in both the IDTA and the DTB step lists, the Back Feather is
listed as an independent figure.

The Back Feather is prominently featured in the Extended Reverse Wave,
where it may follow any Back Three Step.
