Looking for a simple precede and exit. Currently coming in from a Tumble Turn and exiting with a standing spin type move. I am thinking that a Feather to 1-3 of a RT would work fine for the entrance but I don't want to be spinning around in the middle of the floor like some kind of Fleckrel(sp) fiend

The simplest( maybe )dance 1 thru 5 of rev turn, and step 6 convert into a left whisk .. its a little unorthodox ,, but might suit your purpose ?

Often the simplest amalgamations can be the most effective.

The obvious precede would be a Whisk, following the Left Whisk by untwisting 1/2 a turn to R, while Lady runs around into an Outside Spin. A couple of pivots ended with a Reverse Pivot into a Double Reverse Spin to Hover Telemark and Weave from PP would be an effective way to continue.

Johnpower.I'm not sure if you are writting about the Foxtrot, or is it the Waltz. A Tumble Turn is Foxtrot . A Standing Spin is Waltz.
Waltz. What is wrong with a Open Natural Turn into a Left Whisk. Followed by a Standing Spin to the Right. A very simple ending can be Check on the LF then step to the side LF in Promenade.
The last three steps are called a Left Side Check. Altogether five bars of Waltz.
How come you other guys didn't question whether this was Waltz or Foxtrot.

I did..but.. they seemed confident, by their post, that was something they were " trying "...

I do agree, it doesnt "sit " well with me in F/T, as neither does a standard Whisk, which is acceptable to many . But thats why we have choices .
