Gancho
The
gancho refers to any move in which one or
other - even both - partners briefly hook
their lower leg around their partner's
thigh.
There
are many starting positions but the line
of the leader and follower's legs will
will generally form a "T".
Usually,
the leader moves his relaxed, weightless
leg out sideways so that his foot finds
and hooks around the ankle of his
follower's weighted leg as she is turned
to collect on a backward step. The gancho
happens because the collect is blocked.
