http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJUV2QwmflY First few seconds. Liz is lead to spiral at the waist, her leg does float behind and then wraps around front, and then she is lead to settle onto her left foot. A front boleo??? A front ocho??? Simply a cross?? I thought that the root of boleo meant to to throw or to launch. A bowling alley is a bolera. I was under the impression that a "whipping" action, or the appearance of such, whether lead fast or slowly, was integral to a boleo. If the word is actually voleo, I thought that the english cognate was related to "volley", meaning to hit in the air. Again, not a simple spiral, but a more enthusiastic action. help?
