Media Vuelta - Intermediate - Shared Vuelta

Any time there is a pivot and then a sense of the partners gathering to step out together, there is an opportunity for a magic "tango moment".

For The Leader: This overturned pivot is a chance to take your follower back to that little girl "dreaming of being a princess" feeling that many of us had as a child. For this, you need:

Keep her on her axis or, if you do a small colgada here, hold her firmly
Time the beginning of your stepping back for the very moment when she finishes pivoting

For The Follower: To achieve that feeling, you, also, need to have good technique:

Pull down lightly on the leader from your back rather than from your arms to maintain balance
Stay with your axis aligned over the ball of your foot
Lean into his hand with the small of your back (Nancy speaking: I call this "giving the leader your back").
