The famous “Salida del ’40” is a particular sequence that shares a characteristic with other “salidas”, to reach the follower’s front cross. In our sequence we changed that ending by replacing the front cross with Katrin’s back voleo.
Actually it is not the only change, just before Katrin’s voleo Jorge’s step is also different from the traditional structure, do you recognize the difference?
Katrin’s Voleo is accompanied by a back cross from Jorge. Being that these two movements are in the same sense we find that the easiest way to combine them is with a “with” voleo (not a “contra” one) and the back cross coincides with the return of the voleo.
We are going to see in more detail this moment of the sequence in El Pasito ‘s Class.
