Balsero Doble

Balsero = "rafter" (the rower of a balsa raft), and Doble doubles it. The base Balsero is a rowing/lift figure where the lead scoops and lifts the joined arms as if pulling an oar, passing the follow across; the Doble performs that rowing-and-pass on both sides — or twice through — before resolving. Standard reading: lead the first balsero scoop and pass, switch sides via a cross-body action, and repeat the rowing lift on the other side. Exact club choreography may vary — verify against your teacher's version.

• Lead: Keep the rowing scoop low and connected on both sides, and use a clean cross-body to switch the follow before the second oar — keep the joined hands untangled the whole way.
• Follow: Travel through the scoop and pass on each side without anticipating; let the arms be lifted and rowed rather than lifting them yourself.
• Timing: First balsero across one 8-count, switch and second balsero across the next, resolving on the following 8.
• Common mistake: Tangling the arms on the side-switch, or lifting too high so the rowing scoop loses its connected, oar-like feel.

The doubled, both-sides version of Balsero — same rowing image, mirrored and travelled. A showy accent that still works socially when the music gives it room.
