Enchufla / Adios Arriba

The plug into a goodbye, taken high. An enchufla flowing into an adios done overhead instead of at the shoulder.

What This Move Is

Arriba = "up." A standard enchufla flows straight into an adios, but the adios head-roll is led with the joined hands raised fully overhead (arriba) rather than kept at shoulder height. The raised path gives the goodbye a taller, more open shape — the follow passes under the high arm as the figure resolves back to L-to-R.

Key Points

  • Lead: Run a clean enchufla first, then lift the joined hands overhead for the adios — keep the arm high and untangled so her head clears.
  • Follow: Take the enchufla, then keep your head level and travel under the raised arm; let the overhead path be led rather than ducking early.
  • Timing: Enchufla on 1-2-3, raised adios on 5-6-7, resolve on the following 8.
  • Common mistake: Leaving the arm at shoulder height so the high adios collapses into an ordinary one — commit to the overhead path.

Style Notes

An "up" restyling of the enchufla-into-adios combo — same mechanics, taller silhouette. Sits in social casino as an accent when you want a more open, lifted goodbye.
