What This Move Is
"Complicated Seventy." Preserved verbatim from the user's inventory. It opens like a Setenta (prep, hammerlock) then adds a middle enchufla with a hook turn — the lead steps under — before the exit. Three 8-counts, each rotating roughly 180 degrees.
Key Points
- Lead: Time the hook turn / step-under on the middle 8 precisely — that's where the 180 rotation lives.
- Follow: Enter via the Setenta hammerlock, then be led through the extra enchufla / hook-turn swap before resolving.
- Timing: Three 8-counts (hammerlock / tricky enchufla+hook / ending); prep on 7.
- Common mistake: Mistiming the lead's hook turn / step-under on the middle 8, losing the rotation.
Style Notes
The first "complicado" most dancers learn — a satisfying showpiece once the middle hook is clean. Chains its Setenta modules into a flowing whole.
