[Tango-L] side sacada

[Noughts]

I can't imagine any sacada being with and or from the direction the
sacada comes from, it that happened, the follower would be taking the
foot/leg in half.

If there are 3 possible steps and there are only 3.  Forward, backward
and sidewards, then there are only 3 'directions' that a sacada can
come from...  If this is true, then a side sacada is just as valid as
a side step.  However, using your thought process Martin, do we then
remove all side steps and classify them as fwd or bkwd steps???

As for the linear sacada comment, like any movement, executed badly,
of course it will be hard or difficult.  Teaching sacada's, I often
teach linear going forwards first as it's incredibly easy to lead and
of course, keeps the line of dance.  I use both cross and parallel
systems to show differing outcomes and how it can affect the line of
dance...
