What is this?
Title: Open Impetus
Level: Silver (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (SQQ)
Rotation: Up to ⅜ to Right
Notes
The Open Impetus can be used any time there is a Heel Pull for the man, 
including after 1-3 Natural Turn, 1-5 Natural Twist Turn, 1-6 Reverse Wave, 
and 1-12 Extended Reverse Wave (IDTA only). After a Curved Feather, the 
first step of the Open Impetus will be taken Outside Partner.

A note on Syllabus Amalgamations
In the IDTA syllabus, the Open Impetus is listed in conjunction with the 
Weave from PP. This makes these two exit figures appear to be the only 
ones permissible. In reality, any Promenade Figure may follow the 
Open Impetus. Since our aim is to break each amalgamation into its 
smallest usable parts, we have listed the Open Impetus individually.

Notes
-9C shows Open Telemark – Passing Natural Turn – Open Impetus.
 This combination is only permitted in the IDTA syllabus. 

If instead of the Passing Natural Turn, a Curved Feather from PP were 
danced, then this would also be legal in the ISTD.
