V6 (Quickstep)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

V6 is a Silver level dance pattern of the Quickstep dance syllabus. The couple moves diagonally to the center (DC) and then diagonally to the wall (DW), thus sweeping a V-shape on the floor. The "6" in ""V6" is most probably is an arbitrary reference to the V6 engine.

The pattern starts with the leader backing DC, e.g., after the first part of the Quarter Turns, and the Back Lock (SQQS) is performed, followed by the change of the direction on counts SQQ (leader's steps): left foot back (follower steps outside partner), right foot back with a quarter turn to the left, left foot forward facing DW, followed by a slow step outside partner, e.g., into the Forward Lock (SQQS).

Possible preceding figures:

• "SQQ" of the Quarter Turns
• Natural Spin Turn (SQQSSS) ending DC, the last S being the first S of the V6.
