Throw (1 Hand)² sn0155, 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 left hand, it is important Lead does not add any sideways movement, because Follower may interpret it as a sign to turn.
|
S1) Lead takes a large step toward Follower. Lead's left hand raises Follower's left hand in Window Hold. Important - Lead keeps their elbow close to their body to avoid striking Follower. Follower continues Mambo Step. |
S2) Lead's right foot steps next to their left foot and points 90° to Lead's right. Follower continues Mambo Step. |
