Twist-Out

Also called: the twist-out, twist and bounce, twist out

Definition

The constant rotational quality behind every Pachanga step: you twist as you go down and twist out as you come up, every time you bend and rise. This rotation through the angles is what drives the diagonal, traveling direction.
