Cross Body Triple Right Turn (CB3RT)

Cross Body Triple Right Turn is a Partnering Dance Technique. It means a Cross Body Lead with a Triple Right Turn for the Followers. The correct description should be: a Cross Body Lead with a Forward Walking Turn (Lazy Turn) (r) and 4 Syncopated Walking Turns for the Follower.

It is also called a Cross Body Triple Outside Turn. This is the same as a CB2RT (see "Cross Double Right Turn"), but with some differences. After the Leader leads the Follower into her first Walking Turn (a Forward Walking Turn (r) (Lazy Turn)) he gives the Follower more turning power by going faster around her head making her do a Syncopated Backwards Walking Turn (r) (Follower 3rd Dance Position) (5 1/2 count ), a Syncopated Forward Walking Turn (r) (Follower 3rd Dance Position) (6th count), another Syncopated Backward Walking Turn (r) (Follower 3rd Dance Position) (6 1/2 count ).

The last turn of the Follower is exactly the same as the last turn of a regular CB2T, but syncopated: a Backwards Syncopated Walking Turn (Follower 3rd Dance Position)(7th count) (On1). The Leader feels as if he's leading the Follower into making 3 turns. In reality he leads her to make 5 Walking Turns! The Follower should use more strength to break her speed near the end so she can execute the last Syncopated Walking Turn (r) with ease. The CB3RT is usually followed by a rev-360 (see "Reversed 360") to help the Follower break her speed, but still continue to dance in a regular flow. The CB3RT is the "mirror image" of the CB2LT (see "Cross Body Double Left Turn").
