What body/feet/head positions constitute the "fallaway" position, e.g. Fallaway to Slip Pivot"?

Many thanks

Pete

Regarding the fallaway position, it was my understanding that FA is the same as PP but you move backwards instead of forwards.

The normal Reverse Turn involves only 1 'turn' to the left. This doesn't refer to how MUCH turn is done, but the total number of TURNS.

The Doulbe Reverse Spin gets it's name from the combination of 2 separate turning actions which revolve to the left.

The 1st turn is the 'normal' Reverse Turn. This is followed by a 2nd reverse turning action. The 2nd turning action also involves a Toe Spin for the man. So, in that light, the name makes sense: Two Separate Turns to the Left With Man's Toe Spin would be a bit wordy. Double Reverse Spin is much easier to handle!

Fallaway feels to me like a promenade in reverse, so your head/body/feet would be the same as promenade position I think.

In a sense you're right. I suppose the term fallaway came about from the feeling of falling away or moving backwards. It's hard to say why the people who named the figures originally used the words they did. A prime example of this is the Double Reverse Spin. This didn't have anything to do with 2 spins it was more to do with the timing of the figure.
