After three straight months of dancing with milongueros, I have developed sort of a hatred for leg wraps, ganchos and volcadas. Why? Because the milongueros don’t do those things! (at least not that I’ve noticed)…
update: (okay, If they’re reeeeeallllly really well led and we’re somewhere non-traditional like Catedral, it’s ok.

I am so with you on this. Especially regarding volcadas. I was just saying this morning that I want a nice glittery t shirt the a “Volcada Free Zone” spelled out in rhinestones. My lower back would thank me…
not even a teeny tiny one?
sometimes, when i am led a teeeeeeny teeeeeeeeny tiny volcada, i feel like i am being wisked away in a little wave, “swoosh….”
when it is led well, and once in a blue moon, i like it very much…
We, actually, a volcada can be very sweet, and because of my preferred style of tango, very small. And, as Tina (and Nuit) says, if it is led very very well, then we will enjoy it! A poorly led volcada is just plain dangerous.
Volcada-free zone, that is a funny one. It’s not that I don’t know how to do these steps, but usually they break me out of my little nirvana zone. And once I kicked my leader when doing a gancho so now I live in mortal fear of doing that again. (Although he doesn’t remember it at all two years later and I still do.)
These moves go against the grain more often than not, imho.
