Quick Open Reverse Turn (Quickstep)

[gclarke]

I think I have the answer to what our instructor called an 'outside run'.

I'm looking at the Quick Open Reverse Turn.

If I consider two things
a) Transition steps may be confusing the issue
b) Our instructor says we will 'speed it up' at some point

I am no longer looking for 5 steps going back on the left (lady) SSSSS.

So discounting the first step it would now fit as a SQQS as quoted in my book

Begin with the lady backing the LOD
S Back RF
Q Side LF slightly forward
Q Foward RF, OP, in CCMP
turning left on those 3 to face LOD

Finish according to which figure follows
S Forward LF in front of partner

After comes a QQS and a lock step but I haven't quite fathomed yet if that's a 'basic' + lockstep or meant to be something else.

I see it is often used in sequences with a V6 or 4 quick runs so I'm guessing that's where we're heading in time.

mmmm That may be 'running' before we can walk, if you'll excuse the pun!

Try following the quick open reverse with a progressive chasse, you'll be facing the LOD instead of facing DC like normal, and then proceed with whatever else.
