Title: Hover Corté
Level: Gold (ISTD); (-) (IDTA) Timing: (123) or (123456) Rotation: ⅜ to Left |
Notes
Timing: The Hover Corté can be held for three counts (123) or six counts (123456). Entry, Exit and Rotation remain the same in both. IDTA Syllabus: The Hover Corté 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. |
