Sergey says a friend of his came up with 1000 sacadas? Please show them to me. >From a pure sturcutral anlaysis, by my calculation there are only 48. Here is my analysis: Lets start with leader doing sac to follower. There are only 3 steps involving full weight shift for follower in tango. Front cross, back cross, and open. They can be done with two different feet. So thats a total of six positions available to sacada. For each step of follower, lets say right open step, the leader could do 4 different sacadas to her departing left foot; front sac with right or left, back sac with right or left. (Side sacadas by leader are just a variety of one of above, it makes no difference to me whether your angle of approach is 90 degress, 85 degrees, 45 degrees, etc.) So that makes 24 for leader. The follower could be led to do the same to the leader. So that gives you another 24 for a total of 48 sacadas. -Martin Nussbaum
