What’s more difficult than a back cross? Tree back crosses ! – El Pasito – Tango sequences to practice and learn.
In today’s Pasito we will see tree different variation of a Back Cross made by Katrin. A classic Back Cross, a Back Sacada and a Back Voleo.
The first one is a classic one, a normal Back Cross.
Then Katrin changes the sense of her turn to take another back cross, this time with the intention of taking my previous position, with a Back Sacada.
She changes the sense again to take a third back cross but Jorge don’t let her accomplish it, as a consequence of this interruption Katrin makes a Back Voleo.
Then we have that Katrin is changing her direction twice, but Jorge don’t and this can make the Lead a little challenging too.
The sequence continues just to recover the line of the dance floor, so Jorge can see forward in relation to the dance floor and continue wit the dance.
