What is this?
Title: Back Lock
Level: Bronze (ISTD); Silver (IDTA)
Timing: (12&3)
Rotation: None
Notes
The Back Lock is listed as Bronze in the ISTD and Silver in the IDTA syllabus. 
In our old editions of The Revised Technique by Alex Moore, the Back Lock 
is listed in the Members' Syllabus (Silver), and was written to follow the 
Drag Hesitation (though other entry figures are mentioned). We suspect 
that the introduction of the Progressive Chassé to Right into the Waltz 
helped make the Back Lock a Bronze figure in the estimation of Alex Moore.
