Click Here For A Clarification Regarding The Paso Doble Shadow Cross Tracking Rules. 

Important Clarification (May 13, 2024): For the Tango Variation Dance, the Rule states the skater must do A Steps which would normally include a 3 turn at the end of the pattern prior to doing the Variation, but the pattern shows the new A Steps used when two sequences are done so a skater can transition into the B Steps. Since we didn't notice these conflicting Rules until after the season started, we will accept either the A Steps with the 3 turn or without prior to starting the Variation sequence.
