What is this?
Title: Double Reverse Spin
Level: (-)(ISTD); (?)(IDTA)
Timing: (SQ&Q) or (QQ&Q)
Rotation: Between ¾ to 1 turn to L
Notes
The Double Reverse Spin was originally featured in the Waltz syllabus 
and has been adapted for use in the Foxtrot. It is listed under 'Additional Figures' in 
The Foxtrot and Basic Principles by Guy Howard (2011). It is not specified at which 
level it is to be taught or danced.

Citations
There are several references to the Foxtrot Double Reverse Spin in Alex Moore's 
Popular Variations (Foxtrot Variation Nos. #31, #47, and #50). In each of these 
cases, it is danced with a (QQ&Q) timing, whereby the preceding figure has also 
had an odd number of beats. For example:

Fallaway Reverse and Slip Pivot (SQQQ) into Double Reverse Spin (QQ&Q)
