Double reverse spin
# Double reverse spin

The double reverse spin is a ballroom dance move used in the waltz and the quickstep. It typically rotates a full turn in one measure of music, although it can rotate anywhere from 3⁄4 to a full turn.

## Footwork

The double reverse spin consists of a heel pivot to Viennese cross (the left foot crossing in front of the right foot) for the follower and a reverse turn to toe pivot for the leader.
