Doug, A Boleo with a leg that goes nowhere - that is confusing, as is your general description of a Boleo. In a Boleo the woman's foot will change direction. A Back Boleo will start in a Back Cross and end in a Front Cross - the opposite for a Front Boleo.
For a woman's footwork in High Boleos, check out this YouTube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdUpCPUJkR8&feature=PlayList&p=48B72A2BE938B1B3&index=26 Keith, HK On Mon Dec 17 0:37 , sent: >I'm confused.
