THE MODERN DANCES
After mastering this quarter turn, make a half turn on the waltz step, repeating once for the complete revolution.
Lesson 5—The Pivot
This is just what the name implies. It is a half turn on the hesitation step—the waltz step being omitted.
Take a long step to the side, counting one; rise on the toes and make a half turn on the two, three count. Repeat this several times.
Get plenty of spring into this figure, and as you pivot on the toe, swing the free foot well off the floor. See Illustration 14.
