I think the difference in numbers of posts is perfectly understandable. This is a natural result of the relative difficulty of answering the questions. Defining boleos and contra boleos is relatively easy. Actually doing them well is considerably more difficult. It's a bit like cricket. There are plenty of people who can provide definitions and demonstrations of a square cut or a cover drive without actually being able to make any runs. The only way to improve your batting is to watch how others do it then spend hours in the nets taking deliveries from your little brother ;-).
The 'sequences to improve close embrace dancing' question is, in my opinion, a much more worthwhile one, but also by its nature so much more difficult to answer. For a start, it assumes you can improve your dancing by learning sequences then that there are some that are more suited to close embrace. Personally, I think doing exercises is more important than learning sequences. Next in importance is lots of challenging social dancing with sequences a distant third in importance. Sequences and steps are only good if you have a really good teacher correcting what you are doing and pointing out all the other variations and possibilities otherwise they will just be a vehicle for entrenching bad habits, whether in close or open embrace. Victor Bennetts Steve>On Thursday the 13th Mario requested tips on "Close embrace in close quarters". I have yet to see a sinlge response. Meanwhile, there have been more than 20 responses in the "Boleo & Contra-boleo" thread. I guess this speaks volumes about the interests of our on line community. **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
