Conversational Tango - Class 6 - Gancho. It Takes Two to Tangle.

A gancho is when one leg hooks around or between the other person's leg. It requires timing, a particular quality of relaxation, and enough trust to let the movement complete itself.

In this class we work through two straightforward entrances that make the gancho accessible from common situations in social dancing.

We will also look at direction: most people think of the gancho as something the follower executes, but the leader can hook toward the follower as well, and working both directions gives a much fuller picture of what the gancho can do.
