[Tango-L] How to lead volcadas

I got that idea from countless class teachers like the one who just wrote 
on this list:

 I am describing what is known these days as the figure called "Volcada"
 (that is the move indeed executed over and over with the wide front
 boleo ending in a cruzada.

> IMHO, a Volcada, during the leaning action, includes a forward and / or 
> sideways movement of the lady's free leg.

Fine, but I think you'll find that interpretation exists only in people 
who've learned from teachers that define "volcada" as the label for the 
particular combination you identify. People who don't learn in such 
lessons don't acquire such labels.

Well Jack, while the original true meanings of words are still in use by 
so many people, you're going to find them rather hard to eradicate.
