SPIRALS| Pivots and voleos.

We study:

• How to create an embrace that’s gentle, welcoming, and still effective.
• The position of the torsos in relation to the other person.
• How to agree on cues to open up the game.
• “Flexible tension” and internal oppositions in the spiral motion of the voleo.

Sequence/exercise:

We practiced forward and backward voleo, and wrapped up with a dynamic pivot exercise in a “linear turn” sequence, where both roles voleo at the same time.
The biggest challenge: DISCOVERING the right and functional position for each sequence.

If you’re interested in diving deeper into the concept of ‘internal rebound’, we suggest working with Intensive C4. To train voleos, refine your technique, and rethink aesthetics, we recommend C3 of Intensivos and C2 of Adornos.

‘We do deliberate practice to master the task, not to finish it.’
