What is this?
Title: Back Three Step
Level: (-) (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (SQQ)
Rotation: Up to ⅛ to Left
Notes
In syllabus dancing, the Back Three Step only exists as a component of the 
Reverse Wave and the Extended Reverse Wave. To non-syllabus choreographers, 
Back Three Step is a useful building block that is often combined with the Back Feather.

The Back Three Step is the second component of the Reverse Wave:
     1-3 Reverse Turn (SQQ), a Back Three Step (SQQ)...

It is also the second and fourth part of the Extended Reverse Wave:
     1-3 Reverse Turn (SQQ), a Back Three Step (SQQ), a
     Back Feather (SQQ), another Back Three Step (SQQ)...
