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").
