For Leaders:

  1. She kicks back because of the momentum you give her back.
  2. Stop her when she's balanced over her back leg.
  3. Make sure your right heel is up.
  4. Your right leg is turned out.

For Followers:

  1. Keep your torso vertical (that's hard).
  2. The gancho happens in the going back of the thigh first.
  3. The accent is at the top of the kick.
  4. As you go back, turn your hips away so that it's easy to hit the leader's thigh.
  5. Collect your thighs, calves and ankles as your leg goes back to kick and as your leg comes out of the kick to step forward.
