Sacada
A sacada is an Argentine tango figure [1][2][3]. It is a displacement in which one partner steps into the space just vacated by the other's leg or foot, so that the step appears to 'take out' the leg [1][2][3].
The sacada is classified as a figure in Argentine tango terminology [1][2][3]. Sources describe it as a displacement: one partner steps into the space that the other partner's leg or foot has just vacated [1][2][3].
Because the step enters that space at the moment it is freed, the movement gives the appearance of 'taking out' the other partner's leg [1][2][3].
Dance notes
In a sacada, the defining action is a step by one partner into the space just left by the other's leg or foot [1][2][3]. The visual effect described by the sources is that the stepping partner seems to displace, or 'take out', the other's leg [1][2][3].
