Sacadas 235
Warning: Sacadas are not very floor craft friendly so master these before you begin to use them at the milonga!
Sacadas are pieces of your foundation. Here you will see pieces of ocho cortado, gyros – molinetes. Stay soft, calm and balance. Nail your pivots or you may get nailed by your partner.
Ladies hear and follow the impulse!
Volcadas 2010
For best results look at the connection NOT at the feet. You will miss the all important lean of the volcada. You want the shape of a tee-pee, not a lean-to!
Volcada is an advanced movement! It is a lean and a connection, not a step!!! Please don’t use this on the floor of the milonga until you have mastered the lean and movement as it can cause stress, pain or injury!
But please…. HAVE FUN!!!
With Love & Light,
Rusty
You are the music, love is the rhythm and life is the dance!
Volcada – Banking Like a Race Car
Volcadas are a joined Lean… hence the term “Banking like a race car”
Banking like a race car because we are creating a centripetal lean that is joined at the chest. I am the track and she is the car!!
You really need to meet your partner in the middle on this step – muscle and brawn only go so far. If you don’t meet your partner in the middle this movement will look forced and contrived and feel forced and contrived.
Spend some years of your life perfecting this until you can do it with no hand!!!
Love & Light,
Rusty
If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
