In Walter Laird's ISTD technique books, the Fallaway Position - since I know International Rumba moves and figures quite well - is also called the "Aida". Other good entries into the Aida include... 1. New York to Man's R (Lady's L) 2. Hand to Hand to Man's R (Lady's L) And keenly, the "Spiral to Fallaway" - is also known as "The Curl", and it was one of the Popular Variations in Latin-American Dancing. The lead for the lady into the Spiral is the Open Check as you explain here. This allows the Lady to go into Close Contact Facing Position to set up her spiral turn afterward into the "fallaway". The Hip Rocks (aka Cuban Rocks) to Spot Turn is one of my favorite exits out of this Fallaway (or Aida), but you can also do a Fence Position instead of a spot turn.

Lovely sequence. I was excited to learn what 'Fallaway' was, but I see it is what I know as 'Aida'. Also, when a spiral action is taken from Open Position, I know it as a 'Curl'. A regional difference, I suppose.

I know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released series online ?

Thanks Dave! I suppose more correctly would be to describe it as Curl to Fallaway Position.
I learned it the same way as well. It would be curl to aida.
Rumba is so beautiful....
Thanks Ana, glad you like our rumba
And the lady is so elegant.
