[Tango-L] The Volcada

[Jack Dylan]

Man, I'm glad I'm not a teacher trying to explain a figure on this list. Not with 
critics like Larry around and just waiting to pounce. Personally, I thought JPS 
did a good job in explaining the most common and popular form of Volcada and 
I've little doubt that he explains it and its different forms in more detail during his 
classes. It certainly didn't find it ... "totally misrepresents what a volcada is" and 
I didn't find it ... "confusing". 
Larry's rambling comments, on the other hand, would, I am sure, confuse those 
who do not already know what is a Volcada. 
Btw Larry, you recently confessed to not knowing the difference between an 
'open' step and a 'crossed' step. I did take some time and trouble to explain that 
but received no feedback. I hope you found my comments useful.
Jack
