Take 4 - Deriving Front Ocho
Our version of front ocho is based on principles of stabilized and supporting core and of 2 people moving completely together. But you can have different principles and those different principles would lead to a different kind of ocho.
Two for instances:
In close embrace, almost there is no front ocho, it's almost a cross in place because of the requirement that the upper torso be almost glued together. Back ocho, also changes and becomes about the swing in the hip socket rather than the extension through the pivot.
Another instance is the kind of "counter" ocho where the leader actually goes to the opposite side of where the follower's stepping and then sort of pulls her into the pivot for the next step. This kind of ocho is not about being excruciatingly together each moment but rather about a rubber band like effect to create the pivot.
