What is this?
Title: Fallaway Reverse and 
     Slip Pivot
Level: Gold (ISTD); (-) (IDTA)
Timing: (1&23), (12&3) or (123&)
Rotation: ¾ to ⅞ to Left

Notes
IDTA Syllabus: The Fallaway Reverse and Slip Pivot is not listed in the 
IDTA Waltz syllabus, nor is it charted in Guy Howard's The Waltz and Basic Principles. However, the book does list it under 'Figures Common to more than one Dance.' It is unclear whether this makes it a legal figure to compete in IDTA syllabus Waltz, and if so, at what level it is to be taught.

Video Example 1
Notes
-25A shows the regular Fallaway Reverse and Slip Pivot, with a timing 
          of (12&3).
-25B shows the Fallaway danced into a Corner, with the alternate 
          timing (123&). Note also the under-rotated Slip Pivot.
