Igor asked about the difference. I am sure he knows boleos, so I am posting at the risk of a retort claiming they are both technically boleos, but here goes: I think of leading boleos in two ways: 1. by moving my torso and frame "with" the womans pivot, in the same direction either clockwise (cw) or counterclockwise (ccw), and stopping or changing my torso direction once her hips pass the fail-safe point; or 2. "against" (contra) her rotation, ie., start by leading her to pivot on one foot cw and then after fail safe point generate boleo by moving my torso and frame counterclockwise (ccw). Or vice versa.
Okay so both of these are boleos. Entonces, maybe what Igor is asking about is a double boleo, as in leading a left front boleo followed immediately be a left back boleo, which can be continued indefinitely, (but practically more than three is overkill). Some people call these "contra" boleos, even though these could be led either with or against. But its easier for me, and feels better, to lead multiple boleos as "against" boleos. -Martin Nussbaum _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
