Giro The giro is the manoeuvre (!) in which the follower, always facing the leader with her upper body, is led to step around her leader - progressively taking backward, open/side, and forward steps before pivotting 180 into another open/side step and pivotting 180 and repeating the backward, open/side and forward steps and so on. The move can include any number of the individual elements and can begin and end on any step although there are favoured entry and exit points and variations on the timing of the steps. Classically, the backward, open, and forward steps are completed in the same time as the pivot, open, pivot part; a four-step 360 box around the leader. |

If executed well, with the leader rotating steadily to face his follower and maintaining his central axis and the follower taking uniform length steps, keeping her pivots separate from her steps, thinking of release, transfer and collect phases of each step, and staying close to the leader, there is enormous potential for the leg play - barridas, boleos, ganchos and sacadas - that is the essence of Tango! |
