Enchufla Ronde

Hook turn, hands overhead. Evelyn's twin — the lead spins, but this time the joined hands pass over the top.

Coach's notes — the how & why

What This Move Is

A decorated enchufla where you finish with your own right hook turn (vuelta) — and unlike Evelyn, the linked hands pass overhead rather than changing behind your back. You enchufla in, then on 5-6 hook on the heel of the left foot, spinning right under the joined arms, and resolve with a Dile Que No. Same family, different door: overhead instead of behind.

Key Points

  • Lead: Enchufla on 1-2-3, then hook your right turn on 5-6 — pivot on the heel of the left foot and let the joined hands travel up and over your head. Keep the arc high so nothing binds.
  • Follow: Travel through and hold a generous, level frame so his hands have room to pass overhead — give him height, stay your steady self, then receive the Dile Que No.
  • Timing: Enchufla 1-2-3, lead's hook turn on 5-6 (heel pivot), resolve on 7 into the next phrase.
  • Common mistake: Leading the overhead pass too low so the arms snag — lift the joined hands well clear. Confusing it with Evelyn: Ronde = overhead, Evelyn = behind the back.

Style Notes

Some schools call any lead hook turn "Ronde" or "Giro de Son" regardless of hand path — flag the variance. The clean distinction we teach: Ronde passes overhead, Evelyn changes behind the back. Both are the same core idea — the lead adds a vuelta inside the swap.
