| 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.
