does anyone know the names for figures

Hi I have been shown a sequence in Waltz that could be decribed as follows:
develope (head left and extend left leg), then lower left leg and flick left calf and foot backwards (as the body and head move through to promenade and slightly open with head to the right), bring the left knee to the the right and then point the left foot, pivot on left, heel turn, chassis.

I would really appreciate the name for the figure that follows the develope (dev lo pay) and any tips? Sandra

Hi sandra
It sounds like a "same foot lunge" with a "pivot and chassis to the right exit"
although i can't work out your entry into it. I'm talking in terms of the man's movements here, and i can't be sure without knowing what the man is doing

Too hard to tell from the text description. Got a video clip of it?

Sandra First I thought it was a Throwaway Oversway to recover then one Pivot against LOD and finish with a Chasse with the LOD. Always give everything a name even if it is a kind of Pivot or whatever. Would you throw a letter into a filing cabinet without a reference number on it. Your brain is the cabinet your variation is the letter. So many people say its one of those things that comes after that, which is not the way to go.
