Title: Curved Feather from PP
Level: Gold (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (SQQ)
Rotation: Up to ¼ to Right
Notes
The Curved Feather and Curved Feather from PP are part of the 
Feather Step family outlined by Alex Moore in the Ballroom Technique. 
It is defined as a Feather Step that rotates up to ¼ to the Right and ends 
with Man ready to step LF back (Lady RF forward Outside Partner).

A note on Syllabus Amalgamations
In both the ISTD and the IDTA syllabi, the Curved Feather is listed in 

conjunction with the Back Feather, which makes the latter appear to 
be the only permissible exit figure. In reality, both a Closed Impetus and 
Open Impetus may follow the Curved Feather in both the ISTD and IDTA 
syllabi. Since we are an atlas of ballroom steps, we aim to break each 
amalgamation into its smallest usable parts.
