Is a waltz side lock allowed in closed syllabus? I'm talking about International Standard style. I know it does not show up on the ISTD or IDTA syllabi, so my guess is "no, it's not allowed". However, it is just a single step, hardly much of a figure. Can I get away with it?

If you get invigilated, you could always say that you were trying to do 456 of a reverse turn and lost your balance as you were trying to close your feet.

OK......I'm guessing the answer is no? ;-)

Is this anything like accidentally rolling out of a double reverse spin into an overspin, and managing to get stuck on the second half of a reverse turn to end up with a throwaway oversway?

Its pretty embarrasing and disruptive to your routine to get warned by the chair of judges at a comp for doing non-syllabus steps in a syllabus event.

Its also disrespectful to the judges (because you are challenging their knowledge of the syllabus) and your fellow competitors (by attempting to give yourself an unfair advantage with advanced steps).

The responses are a landslide. I'm not going to do the side lock. Gonna have to tell DP. :car:

The judges don't care, that's not their job. It's the invigilator's job, or if there isn't one, the Chairman of Judges (who doesn't actually judge).

Sure. It is not out of syllabus. It is bad dancing! ;)
