Buenos Aires - Mingo's giros

Minog and Esther arrived with reinforcements; he brought several of his male apprentices to help correct the gender unbalance in the group.

Mingo showed how the giro is normally entered on steps 1 or 4 and exited from 3 (in cross system), 6 or 8 of the eight positions available as the follower completes two full turns around the leader.

First we had to revise the giro to leader's right.

Salida to cross with leader's right foot closing to face right behind his left foot:

 
  1 F led into forward ocho on leader's right side ; leader's left foot swings in front of his right leg before it sacadas follower's trailing left leg

2 F led into side step; leader's right leg sacadas follower's right leg

3 F led into backward step (& count) leader's left leg deep alongside (and on the left of) her left leg for the boleo

4 Leader's right foot moves forward as F is led into side step;

5 F led into forward ocho on leader's right side ; leader's left foot swings in front his right leg before it sacadas follower's trailing left leg

6 F led into side step; leader's right leg sacadas follower's right leg

7 F led into backward step (& count) leader's left leg deep alongside (and on the left of) her left leg for the boleo

8 Leader's right leg moves forward and around right of F to lead her out in parallel

 
How it started
What you must do first
Getting around
Intertwining those legs
Having real fun
Swirling around the room
No limits
