- Bronze: The Progressive Chassé to R could be started facing LOD and ended backing DW (3/8 turn) when the amounts of turn would be:
- Man: 1/4 between 1-2, 1/8 between 2-3 (body turns less), no further turn
- Lady: 3/8 between 1-2 (body turns less), slight body turn to L on 3, no further turn.
- Silver and Gold: Started facing DC and ended backing LOD (3/8 turn), or started facing DC and ending backing DC (1/2 turn). If 1/2 turn is mad the amounts of turn will be:
- Man: 1/4 between 1-2, 1/8 between 2-3, 1/8 between 4-5
- Lady: 3/8 between 1-2 (body turns less). Body completes turn on 3, 1/8 between 3-4 (body turns less)
