I can't imagine any sacada being with and or from the direction the sacada comes from, it that happened, the follower would be taking the foot/leg in half.
If there are 3 possible steps and there are only 3. Forward, backward and sidewards, then there are only 3 'directions' that a sacada can come from... If this is true, then a side sacada is just as valid as a side step. However, using your thought process Martin, do we then remove all side steps and classify them as fwd or bkwd steps??? As for the linear sacada comment, like any movement, executed badly, of course it will be hard or difficult. Teaching sacada's, I often teach linear going forwards first as it's incredibly easy to lead and of course, keeps the line of dance. I use both cross and parallel systems to show differing outcomes and how it can affect the line of dance... _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
