Throw² with Checked Inside Trav' Turn (2 Hands) > Outside Turn sn0154, H2.1
- It is assumed that Lead and Follower would be doing Mambo Step just before starting this move, which is the reason why, in Bar1.S1, Follower "continues Mambo Step".
- In Bar1, when Lead raises and lowers Follower's hands, it is important Lead does not add any sideways movement, because Follower may interpret it as a sign to turn.
