Knee Up/Stork (Rodilla/Cigüeña)
Standing straight legged on supporting foot,
with free foot against the supporting knee and
toe pointed downward. This is an unled posi-
tion that the follower may choose during an
interlude in the music.
Calesita with Boleo
As the follower is rotated counter clockwise,
supported on the right foot, the leader rapidly
reverses direction causing the free leg to be
flung out. This will only work if the follower’s
free leg is not locked with the supporting foot.
Round Fan (Planeo)
The leader lowers the follower’s body so that
the free leg is extended behind. The leader then
rotates the follower on the standing leg, causing
the leg to sweep the floor. The move is ended
by the leader rising up and may be finished with
a gancho or pasada.
Double Round Fan (Planeo Doble)
The partners dance in parallel reflection, both
partners on the same foot. For example, if both
dancers are standing on their left foot, as they
simultaeneously extend their right foot back
90° and then sweep the free leg as much as
270° to close and collect. The dancers standing
feet should standing on insteps. Depending on
the stance, different finish results are produced
- pasada, boleo, cuatro.
