Wrap

Wraps (Enganches)

  • A wrap (Spanish enganche) is a move where the follower’s (usually) leg is wrapped (hooked) around their partner’s leg, 
  • Typically the couple continues with their body movement until they unwrap. 
  • Side step –  A turning wrap often takes place as the follower is taking a side step, the leader inserts a leg, and the trailing leg and inserted leg do an enganche as the couple turns.
  • Wrap, Sacada, or Gancho? – All of these moves involve leg interactions and sometimes they blend into each other.
