or Back Lock. No such reference exists in the Ballroom Technique.

Lady's Head Shaping
Mentions of the Lady's Head Shaping are notoriously rare in both
the Ballroom Technique and Quickstep and Basic Principles. The
latter, however, specifically points out the following:
-On Steps 5-6 the Lady may shape her head to the Right.
