For the classical circular boleo, only with the hips, uses Level 0. On the other hand, a high classical boleo, where the knees are together, but the foot goes up, uses Level +1. Nuevo style boleo in which the knees are apart, and cuatro type of boleos, use Level +2. For a low boleo, where the foot of the follower maintains the connection with the floor, Level -1 or even Level -2, are used. Of course, when the concepts of circularity and levels are combined, many movements will be easier to understand. By applying these concepts, the dynamics will also change. In conclusion, leaders will be able to change the way that they dance, improving the quality of their movement through a better understanding of the dynamics. Leaders will also find it easier to communicate with the follower and discover many step sequences by deconstructing and recomposing the dance, using these concepts.
