Fallaway Promenade into a Corner
Neither The Ballroom Technique nor The Tango and Basic Principles 
mention how the Fallaway Promenade is to be performed at a corner. 

Video Example 1 (14B) shows an Overturned Fallaway Promenade that 
                              ends with Promenade facing Diagonal Center of the new    
                              Line of Dance. 
Video Example 2 shows an Underturned Fallaway Promenade that ends with 
                              Promenade facing Diagonal Wall of the new Line of Dance.
