G2G Tango s2 - 2011-03-01 - back sacada to colgada to full body wrap or gancho

Chris Calabro summarizing the 2011-03-01 tango lesson.

The lesson focused on a sequence that involved a back sacada and a colgada and ended either in a full body wrap or a gancho.

- 0:20 - entrance - the man leads the lady into a side step to his left, either from a salida or from her forward step (in a molinete).
- 0:50 - back sacada - the man executes a back sacada with his left foot to her left foot, adjusting his right arm (embracing the lady deeper). As soon as the back sacada is executed, the man steps around her with his right foot, straddling her leg.
- 1:28 - right after the mini-colgada, the man leads her down a little, so that she collects her left leg. The lead is also slightly around (clockwise), so that her left leg slightly wraps her right leg.
- 2:10 - full body wrap ending - the man leads the lady's left leg to come back, leading her into a full body wrap. As her leg comes up, the man moves up to meet it, and right after the full body wrap the man and the woman walk out.
- 2:40 - the gancho - an alternative finish to this sequence involves the man going around the lady clockwise (with his left) as he's leading her free leg to come back. This prompts her to gancho his right leg.
