Sounds like step behinds (cross behinds) not cross overs.
I'm wondering if it's just wanting a backward edge (inside or outside) where the free foot initially pushes in front and then is brought to behind.
I'm wondering if it's just wanting a backward edge (inside or outside) where the free foot initially pushes in front and then is brought to behind. It's not advanced crossovers, because backcrossovers are actually listed on the requirements for this level - I looked it up.Continuous back edges are on the next test, so that's what makes me wonder if it's a building block to back edges.
Honestly from the description it sounds a bit like backwards stroking on a circle, making it clear that you don't leave the free foot in front during the move, similar to doing the continuous back edges, except instead of going from outside to outside or inside to inside, you stay on the same curve, and just switch feet, from outside to inside.It might be best to ask a coach who is familiar with these tests though.. since a majority of us are in the US

Since it's backwards one foot on edges, it sounds like back progressives to me.
