The rueda figure ocho para mujeres provides a nice challenge for the ladies / followers.
This ábaco figure joins the fun, following the same pattern as the ladies / followers do in the rueda figure.
During this figure you should be ‘visiting’ 4 spots:
1. starting with your own,
2. then the spot where the dancer diagonally forward/left started the figure,
3. continuing to the spot where the dancer to your left started the figure,
4. and a swing by the spot where the dancer in front of you started the figure,
before you return to the spot where you started. The rueda figure ends with dile que no without partner change, so the ábaco figure ends the same way – dile que no without rotation.
Ocho para mujeres doble
This ábaco combination is like the regular ocho para mujeres, but you du the actual ocho-part twice. The ocho-part /the “eight” part) is the patern where you move like the number 8, viewed from above. This is the part after the initial enchufla steps, and before the fineal dile que no.
