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,

You are the music, love is the rhythm and life is the dance!
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
Volcada Be Darned… What we need is a parntership and axis clarity!
Let’s play with the axis. Build your tent and meet your partner in the middle. Good sonar is important here – you must send the signal of your intentions and then wait for the echo to come back that your partner is ready – and the follower has to receive the sonar and send her reply back to her leader at the sped of sound so the response time can remain musical!
Playing with the axis and doing volcada pivots… careful that it is a real circle around your partner.
Love & Light,
Rusty
Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is of little love. – Erich Fromm
