I see 1) taught as the walk-through on stage, but 2) shown as the demo... which is the "correct" version? And which looks better?
There's a third variation as well, usually taught outside the Ceroc arena, where the man doesn't turn at all. As he extends the arm out to the right, he steps back on his LEFT, then back again onto his right, as the lady turns 180 to face and block.

The version where the man turns 180 c/w to the block position, to me, is a travelling yo-yo, and therefore just a variation on the standard yo-yo.
