Title: Fallaway Reverse
      and Slip Pivot
Level: Gold (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (See Notes)
Rotation: Between ¾ and ⅞
Notes
Timing
There are several different timings for the Fallaway Reverse and Slip Pivot. 

The following are outlined in both The Foxtrot and Basic Principles and the Ballroom Technique :
(SQQS), (SQQ&), (SQ&Q), (S&QQ) and (QQQQ)

Open Timing
Several sequences in Alex Moore's Popular Variations (#47, #48, #49, #50 and #64) use a 
Fallaway Reverse and Slip Pivot with a (SQQQ) timing. To compensate for the odd number 
of beats, the first (S) of the subsequent figure is converted to a (Q) thus:

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

This combination is only available to non-syllabus competitors.
