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.
