What is this?
Title: 1-3 Reverse Turn
Level: Pre-Bronze (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (SQQ)
Rotation: None.


Title: 1-4 Reverse Turn
Level: Pre-Bronze (ISTD), (IDTA)
Timing: (SQQ)
Rotation: None.
Notes
The Reverse Turn as written in both the ISTD and IDTA syllabi is a 6 step figure 
that includes a Feather Finish. Since our aim is to break each amalgamation into 
its smallest usable parts, we have listed the Feather Finish individually. 

Checked Reverse Turn into Basic Weave
In the ISTD syllabus, one may underturn 1-4 Reverse Turn to end facing 
Diagonal Center against Line of Dance. In this instance, the 4th step 
(the 1st step of a Feather Finish) is used as a check to allow the subsequent 
Basic Weave to begin in the opposite direction. To our knowledge, the 
underturned 1-4 Reverse Turn and Check may only be used in conjunction 
with the Basic Weave.
