tumble turn

[ballroomdancertoo]

anyone know what is a tumble turn and where can you use it in international standard?
thanks in advance

And they're fun, too ...

I would just add that it's more like a reverse slip pivot.

Hmm ... from my remembering, in this case pivot is on the LF which is forward, while for instance on fallaway reverse & slip pivot it's on the RF which slips back ... or there are other kinds of slip pivot ?

It's not really either: but is a Feather Finish into an Open Toe Pivot.

See Hearn's Technique of Advanced Standard Figures, p64-5.

Yes, it states (tumble turn - 4th step for the man): LF forward in CBMP, small step, then turn on LF (open toe pivot), as I wrote (with less detail). Or am I missing something

No, my comment was really misdirected, as the step is neither a reverse pivot, nor a slip pivot.

videos anyone?

videos anyone?

at 0:58 after bounce fallaway. In this case (foxtrot) I start with left foot back with the timing 12&34. This figure with the same intro in waltz would be timed 1&2&3. Can also be danced without the first step (left foot back) which I believe to be the original version but this really depends on the preceeding figure.
Also the timing can be changed in various forms depending on what you want to emphasize.
Hope I could help.

thanks AndresL, my eyes are bad but is there a trace of a tipple type movement? or am I totally off?

It has a tipple feeling but there is no closing of the feet. They are just small steps so partners could pass eachother.

yes, got it I blew up the video and now I see it. It really looks like a fun movement. look like a rounde at the end would also look "splashing". Nice foxtrot though.

Yes, that's the figure. In my dancing days (late '90) popular combination in waltz was: quick open reverse from PP (12&3), RF back into tumble turn (12&3) and then going into throwaway oversway or left whisk. Instead of tumble turn, turning chasse with a pivot (I hope its the right name) was also used (closing RF to LF at & instead doing a step op), which is easier, but tumble turn offers more movement

Sounds like a Chasse Roll?

It could be better/proper name, I'm not that much in ballroom anymore. Also, first figure in that combination is called quick weave in some videos (more or less the same to me, but maybe there is a difference)
