Notes
Natural Pivot Turn into Rumba Cross
Both the Ballroom Technique and the Quickstep and Basic Principles list the Natural Pivot Turn as an alternative entry for the Rumba Cross. This would be accomplished with a Bridge Step (Man's RF Forward). The usual entry is steps 1-5 of the Natural Turn, which includes a Man's Heel Pull rather than a Pivot.
