One thing that we haven't talked about with ganchos so far is interesting to think about now that you've done a few ganchos. This is the quality of the contact. So for the followers who are gancho-ing back or the leaders, if you are gancho-ing a follower, think, "do the thighs fit in a pleasing way?" or "is it like a handshake but of the leg?" Similarly, is the pressure reasonable? If you don't contact at all, that's no fun. Or it can be too heavy. Just like a handshake, it can be too hard.

For the gancho-er, even though you don't hang out there, you want the bounce off your partner's leg to be a pleasant experience for both of you.

From website: My Name is Momo Smitt, I am an independently funded/promoted hip hop artist based in Portland, OR. My music covers a wide range of topics from recovery and personal growth to political and environmental issues. Though much of my music is expressed from a first person perspective of opinions and feelings, I also tend to take a narrative, story-telling approach while detailing my experiences through the role of "observer".
