Colgada
The colgada is a figure in Argentine tango [1][2][3][4][5]. It is described as a counter-balance figure in which the partners lean outward, hanging off a shared axis while rotating, and as the opposite of the volcada [1][2][3][4][5].
The colgada is classified as a figure in Argentine tango [1][2][3][4][5]. All five sources in the dossier agree on this classification [1][2][3][4][5].
The sources define the colgada as a counter-balance figure [1][2][3][4][5]. In it, the partners lean outward, hanging off a shared axis while rotating [1][2][3][4][5]. The sources also describe the colgada as the opposite of the volcada [1][2][3][4][5].
Dance notes
The colgada is defined by counter-balance between the two partners [1][2][3][4][5]. The partners lean outward, away from each other, rather than toward each other [1][2][3][4][5]. While leaning, they hang off an axis they share [1][2][3][4][5]. The figure involves rotation [1][2][3][4][5].
The sources contrast the colgada with the volcada and describe the two as opposites [1][2][3][4][5]. The available sources do not give further detail on how the volcada is executed [1][2][3][4][5].
