What This Move Is
Two consecutive enchufla actions leading the follow's double turn: a half-left turn on 1-2-3, then a half-right turn on 5-6-7. Often with a shoulder-tap on the first enchufla. It is the foundational module for many advanced figures (Candado, El Uno).
Key Points
- Lead: Keep the forward "1" on both halves so the follow can clear the path each time.
- Follow: Half-left turn on 1-2-3, then half-right turn on 5-6-7 — pivot, don't back-rock.
- Timing: Left half-turn 1-2-3, right half-turn 5-6-7; both step forward on 1.
- Common mistake: The back-rock-vs-pivot error again, or losing the forward "1" so the path doesn't clear.
Style Notes
The "module" that makes advanced casino possible. Almost always resolves through Dile Que No back to HOME A.
