Re: Waltz Gold

With the exceptions of the Hover Cross and Tipple Chasse, which are part of the Foxtrot and Quickstep silver syllabus, respectively, the figures you listed are Open Gold variations. As of right now, we have only closed syllabus figures, bronze through gold, for Int'l Standard.

Here are links to those two figures:

Hover Cross: https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=459
Tipple Chasse: https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=335

In addition, we do have some pieces of a couple of the combinations you listed above, which by themselves are syllabus figures:

Reverse Pivot: https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=143
Double Reverse Spin: https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=142
Open Telemark: https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=497
Viennese Cross*: https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=724
Left Whisk**: https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=503

* The Viennese Cross is shown in American Waltz, but it's exactly the same figure as it would be in Int'l style.
** You didn't list the Left Whisk by name, but it is very similar to the Hinge.

We also have a couple of Open Gold American style variations, which just happen to include the Hairpin and the Tipple Chasse to Pivots.

American Waltz Variation #2, which includes the Tipple Chasse to Pivots:

American Foxtrot Variation #4, which includes the Hairpin:
https://www.ballroomdancers.com/Dances/info.asp?sid=1073

You'll have to do a little bit of translating on the Hairpins, as they are shown in the "alternate" dance hold which is a staple of the American Smooth. On the upside, this variation also includes quite a few other Open Gold components suitable for Int'l style, such as a Hover Telemark to PP (aka "Twinkle"), Pivots, and Oversway.

As for the remainder, we do hope to produce most of them eventually, if not exactly in the combinations you listed. There are countless Open Gold variations in all of the ballroom dances, and we could spend an eternity trying to show every possibility. But certainly we will hit the most popular (e.g. Running Weave, Tumble Turn, Hinge, Oversway, Throwaway Oversway, Same Foot Lunge, etc), and will be open to suggestions when the time comes.
