Notes
The Outside Spin is a family of figures that all begin with the Man's LF Back (Lady's RF Forward Outside Partner). It consists of the following: A) The Outside Spin turns 1 full turn and ends with the Man ready to step RF Forward into any Natural Figure. B) The Underturned Outside Spin turns between ½ and ¾ to R, and ends with the Man ready to step RF Back as would be the case after a Natural Spin Turn. C) The Overturned Outside Spin turns 1 and ½ turns and ends with the Man ready to step RF Forward into any Natural Figure. A) and B) are legal at their respective levels in both the ISTD and IDTA syllabi. The Overturned Outside Spin C) is a more recent development, the legality of which is in the gray area of individual interpretation. We recommend that syllabus competitors consult their instructors and/or adjudicators before using the Overturned Outside Spin in competition. |

There is one take on the Outside Spin in this video. It occurs at 0:46 and shows the following amalgamation: 1-5 Hover Corté 3&1 Outside Spin 2-3 Back Whisk As discussed in the Waltz Video Analysis, this sequence is not permitted in syllabus Waltz.
