Tango Move: Leg wrap and Volcada

In this move we do a leg wrap and a vocada.

These two movements are initiated first of all by placing the dancers in a position of leverage, where they depend on the weight of each other to keep the balance. We could all call these movements “Out-of-axis movements.”

Once the partners have found that position of leverage, the leader guides the movements by a circular rotation of his shoulder, which initiates the movements of the leg of the follower.

As the leg of the follower movers in a circular motion, it wraps around the leg of the leader when it is on its way. When the leg of the leader is not on the way, the follower’s circular motion of the leg is called a Volcada.
