Dirty Palladium Drop

Also called: dirty drop, mambo aces drop

Definition

The Mambo Aces version of the Palladium Drop, landing on "and 2" with arms forward and the left foot turned out rather than tapped, staying up on the toe for a strong finish. Grittier than the clean ballet-style drop and full of sabor.
