A: Hi so now we are going to teach you Boleo. Now I'm going to teach the followers their step and Diego will come back and teach the lead. So Boleo can either be done forward or back. Today we are going to do back Boleo. Its just going to come from ochos.
So as I take a side step my partner is going to lead an ocho and give me a whipping sensation at the end. One more time. Side. He's going to send and ocho and whip me back around. So there is a opposition happening in the lead which creates this whipping sensation. He can also do it to the other side. Knees together. Side, knees together, opposition in the torso. I'm going to use my arms pressing against my leader's back to have this whipping sensation. Now Diego will teach us the lead.
Diego: This is a type of step that we don't do much but lead. It's very important that we focus our energy on that. We go side, when I place my weight on this leg I send the leg back to her and then immediately bring it back. That brings the whipping action.
So it looks like this. Side bum bah. Your going to go, side the first bam sense as if it was going to be an ocho and immediately I bring it around. Bam bum bah. Like so, side move, move with her.
A: So followers make sure you still have that opposition with your upper body. As my partner takes me side, he'll turn me, and here is the opposition because he's bringing back my body before my legs, creating the Boleo.
Diego: Side, bum bah.

The clearest instruction that I have ever seen, ever, on how to do a boleo. Thank you for sharing this valuable information to help us out there in the real world. Next time that I fly into New York, I would love to attend one of your classes!

[@ArtisticCatalyst]

This Tango series is so well produced. Love it!

[@TheTigers62]

Excelente explicación bien desglosada del boleo, ¡gracias!

[@albertoalbertoni9529]

You are too good at explaining the steps, you are crazy teachers!

[@johnford2800]

Very nice videos and clear instructions, thank you, John

[@alberth4246]

They both are very good instructors who can teach such difficult steps in very simple and clear instructions. If they come to Vancouver and teach, I will surely take a private lessons with them. Please contact me. I don't know where are they. California is closer to me.

Watching both Boleo I might be able to lead the back boleo than the front easier. As for doing it, not sure my knees could handle it

[@FernandoLopez-mq9uh]

Very good !!

"Boleos" - means "polishes" in Spanish. It comes from the verb "bolear" - to polish.

[@hdholl]

But that is not the meaning here. Bolear (also) means to throw around. A ball (una bola) or, here, metaphorically, a leg.

[@hdholl]

So he leads her into a backward ocho, but then suddenly changes his mind: 'Oops! Sorrry! Should be forward ocho.' And he forcefully swings her back so she can continue with the same left leg into a forward ocho. That's how you can get your mind around it.

[@charlessmith263]

I had done "ganchos" with my own legs, and because these are bigger leg hooks - "boleos" - I sometimes call them "ganchones"..

[@blurose351]
