March 24, 2005

Pimienta
step away on 1 (start pulling) and back on 2,3 (L-R hold)
left hand up on 4/5 and partner is turned clockwise 1 1/2 on 5,6,7
Dile que no finish on 1,2,3,5,6,7

Sombrero
crossed hand (my R up) & step away on 1 and back on 2,3
turn partner clockwise 1 3/4 on 5,6,7 (R goes first then L) and end up in Sombrero position on 7/8
release all on 1 and Dile que no finish on 1,2,3,5,6,7

Sombrero complicado?
as above until second 1 at which L-R hold is established in open-like position
lead partner across with 1 3/4 counterclockwise turn
[note. This is equivalent to cross body lead with 1 1/2 counterclockwise turn with L-R hold in partner dancing.]

Enchufe y casate --- a little lost
normal enchufe on 1,2,3
get R-R hold ... forward while partner is turned 180 (counterclockwise) on 5,6,7 (switch to L-R hold then R-L locked arm) (men in center now going in circles)
se fue (turn around)
dil le que no/No - move to closed position (women now walking backwards in circle)

Para mi para ti
normal enchufe on 1,2,3
keep L hand up, walk underneath on 5,6 and finish back in open by 180 counterclockwise turn on 7
another enchufe on 1,2,3
accomodating 5,6,7 (back and forward?)
Dile que no finish on 1,2,3,5,6,7

Chicas no (called after dame or others involving change of partner)
women lead men cross body on 1,2,3 (left hand on partner's shoulder)
followed by men leading women cross body on 5,6,7 (right hand on partner's back)

Festival (e.g. Festival enchufe or Festival adios)
Do it 3 times ... clapping to the beat once after the first change of partner, twice after second change of partner, three times after third change of partner (just before leading next partner across to the Guapea starting position)
