What is the lady's footwork in the tango FRSP?

EDIT: I take that back. Tango... would have to ask partner. I was wondering why you would be asking about FRSP. I'll learn to read eventually.

My edition of the ISTD book says BH, IE of BH, B, BH. My edition of the ISTD book has some interesting mistakes in it, though.

That sounds correct to me.

So if the last step is BH, is there actual pivoting (i.e. swiveling) on left foot on the last slip pivot step?

yes

I think that there is some, but not as much pivoting as there would be in a swing dance.

OK, cause I thought I was going to go crazy trying to figure out how not to pivot there

Does the man swivel too for that "slip pivot"?

Actually, I would expect the amount of pivot to be the same. After all, it's the same figure in tango and the swing dances, with the same foot and body positions. There would be less (i.e. no) rise and fall, obviously, and the timing of the foot/body positions may be slightly different, though.
