Shouldn't there also be a pass at step five otherwise you end up with the left leg still forward and get a weird torque on your middle as you rotate into Posta di Donna sinestre?

All the mandritto fendentes come with a pass, whether you're cutting full or half blows.

Don't confuse a note sent to seniors with a step by step guide to the form... pass as needed :-)
