Click here for the Five Step.

Notes
The Reverse Five Step is currently considered a variation of the Five Step that is 
overturned (up to ¾ to Left) and intended to travel down the floor. However, to 
be historically accurate one should say the Five Step is a variation on the 
Reverse Five Step. The first description of a Five Step in Alex Moore's Popular 
Variations features an alignment that we today would call a Reverse Five Step.
