[Tango-L] Boleo & Contra-boleo

[doug@swingfusion.com]

Is just physics.  Easy (linear) example.  Hold stick loosely at top.  Move
hand laterally at uniform rate.  Now stop hand.  Lower end of stick
continues to swing forward like ordinary type boleo.  Now again hold stick
loosely with hand stationary.  Then quickly move hand.  Lower end of stick
remains essentially just where it was and then begins to move after hand has
displaced.  First case working with kinetic energy (body in motion tends to
remain in motion), second case with inertia (body at rest tends to remain at
rest).  Can certainly do rotationally as well, but linear example with stick
(or kitchen knife as I sit here at breakfast) is easiest to see.  As with
any energy move in Tango, follow must be sensitive to possibilities and lead
must clearly delineate energy and rate of change of energy.
