Siete Loco
Crazy seven. The Siete cranked up — extra turns and wilder arm work piled onto the classic seven.
What This Move Is
Siete Loco = "crazy seven," a wild, multi-turn variation of the Siete (7). It takes the Siete's arm-over and place-change shape and piles on extra spins and busier arm work, so the figure gets faster and showier before resolving. Standard reading: lead the Siete's prep and arm path, then add the extra turn(s) for the follow and resolve through enchufla or Dile Que No. Exact club choreography may vary — verify against your teacher's version.
Key Points
- Lead: Keep the joined-hand path clean even as the turns multiply — speed comes from clarity, not force; don't let the extra spins drag the follow off her axis.
- Follow: Spot your turns and keep your own balance through the extra rotations; let the busier arm work happen above you without ducking out of frame.
- Timing: Fits the Siete phrasing but packs the extra turns in tight — prep on 7, the loco turns across 1-2-3 and 5-6-7, resolving on the next 8.
- Common mistake: Adding turns faster than the follow can spot, so she loses her axis; or muscling the spins instead of leading a clean path.
Style Notes
An advanced, showy variation in the numeric Siete family — the crazy cousin of the standard 7. A high-energy accent for an up-tempo section, danced with the same partner.
