Pairs Elements - Throws

Pair throws are really just "assisted jumps". The lady performs a standard singles jump while the man gives her some added "push" that generates that dramatic height and distance that characterize the throws. All throws are named to match the jump that the lady performs. If you watch the lady carefully on any throw you'll see the jump performed just as if it was a solo jump, and that's how you recognize the throws.
