Right arm is taken up to a flat handed hold at shoulder height, takeing the lady another 90º
At Ceroc, I prefer the woman to not rotate at this point, rather than rotating 90º AC, and try to lead appropriately. That's also what I tend to see around me. Accordingly, I prefer the 180º degrees male rotation, as then both dancers are facing each other. This also makes for a clearer distinction between the travelling yoyo and the static yoyo, in case you want to use both.

I feel that if the man and the woman both rotate 90º, the natural direction to send the lady is at right angles to the original "slot".
