Larry, I also first learned a basic Volcada as you describe it, i.e. as a simple forward lean. The problem is that times have changed and, largely because of Nuevo terminology, few people call that a Volcada anymore. As mentioned in another post, that figure is now called a Carpa [tent] or Puente [bridge]. And I agree with you that a Puente should definitely be taught and learned before a Volcada is attempted. But Larry, to avoid the confusion you're obviously feeling, I would respectfully suggest that you try to keep up with the modern terminology. Otherwise, IMHO, you end up speaking a different language to everyone else. As seems to be the case with your understanding of a basic Volcada. Your other examples - the Calecita [Merry-Go-Round] and Walking Backward Drag [only seen that on stage] are also not now normally classified as 'Volcadas'. Larry, you spent an hour checking 30 videos on YouTube and found none that described the basic Volcada as you think it is. Didn't that tell you something? Jack
