Silver Foxtrot
This routine uses the strong movement of the Weave from PP and the Natural Weave to move down the floor. A more advanced ending the the Reverse Wave is used, replacing the Heel Pull action with an Open Impetus. Furthermore, two types of Telemark are added: the Open Telemark and the Hover Telemark, each followed by a Feather Ending. Finally, the SQQ timing is used in the Change of Direction to allow the dancers recommencing the routine.
