Circular Back Boleo (Voleo Atrás)
During a backward circular
move, movement is interrupt-
ed or suspended, typically ini-
tiated from a back ocho, with
the follower moving backward.
The follower’s foot lifts from
the floor and it lifts her leg
behind her. This can be done
during ec;ockwise or counter-
clockwise molinetes.
Mutual Boleos (Voleo Mutuo)
As they rotate in in mutual mo-
linetes or walking mutual ochos,
the dancers reverse direction,
causing boleos. If this is done
during a molinete the dancers
may alternate boleos.
Calesita (Carousel)
As the follower is rotated counter either clockwise or
counter=clockwise, supported on her single foot, the leader
walks rapidly backwards around the follower. To maintain the
calesita, the leader must maintain the same distance with the
follower.
Calesita to Boleo
As the follower is rotated counter clockwise, supported on
the right foot, the leader rapidly reverses direction causing
the follower’s free leg to be flung out. This will only work if
the follower’s free leg is not locked with her supporting foot.
Planeo to Boleo
The leader lowers the follower so that ther free left leg is
extended behind her. The leader then rotates clockwise, so
that the follower is rotated, supported on the right foot, as he
rises up. The leader then rapidly reverses direction causing the
follower’s free leg to be flung in, into a cuatro.
Foot Flick (Capirotazo del Pie)
The follower flicks their foot as in a boleo, but not very high.
Back Kick (Ruade)
A short quick rearward kick by the follower, with lrg bent at
the knee. This is ike a boleo. But it is an unled adornment
Mule Kick (Retroceso)
A sudden straight backward movement of the follower’s free
foot, followed by a slow recovery. After it is a fully developed,
the follower rolls out a rearward kick. This is an unled adorn-
ment that begins with a bent knee and straightened out so
that follower’s shin is parallel to the floor.
Round Fans (Planeos)
A move in which one or both partners fan their free legs out
as they rotate. In all cases, partners must keep their shoulders
parallel, and face each.
