DISCLAIMER: GANCHOS ARE NOT LINE OF DANCE FRIENDLY
In order to do a gancho without interrupting your dance mates, several things should happen first:
1) Be sure there is some space between you and the couple behind you.
2) Make sure you are not holding up the line of dance.
3) Do Not practice on the milonga floor, master them before you dance them on a crowded dance floor.
4) Ganchos are an open embrace movement so a transition is necessary if you have been dancing in closed embrace – be gentle and never abrupt!
For the followers, use your standing leg to put the deep ocho into place, never get confused and try to make and step happen with the reaching leg!!!
Practice this at practicas and at home before you bring it out to the milonga!!
Love & Light,
Rusty
