I would like to learn Tumble Turn in Foxtrot. I did not find it in the Imperial Society, "The Ballroom Technique", the grey book. Anyone can tell me how to do or point to a book?

I would like to learn Tumble Turn in Foxtrot. I did not find it in the Imperial Society, "The Ballroom Technique", the grey book. Anyone can tell me how to do or point to a book?

I was watching the Int'l waltz learning tape by Sinkinson and Loraine Barry this afternoon. Tumble Turn was mentioned during the section of Tipple Chasse (with combination) in waltz. If the steps in chasse were done without feet being closed together (like feet crossed or passed each other) then it became a tumble turn (as in Foxtrot). Of course the tipple chasse in this particular waltz section was done in the turning fashion. If I am wrong in the above statement, I hope Jonathan or James will correct me.

Sorry... I just noticed that your name is Sarah. I suppose you would like me to describe the lady's part!

Begin facing DC, step (1) forward LF, (2) side RF backing DW, (3) back & slightly across with LF in CBMP, backing DC, and then (4) RF back & slightly rightward, towards center, for the reverse pivot. End facing LOD.

I already mentioned the amount of turn, but I did forget footwork for both man and lady...

Man: TH, T, T, TH.
Lady: HT, T, T, THT.

Ok now tumble till you drop.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
