Volcada
The volcada is a figure in Argentine tango [1][2][3][4][5]. In it, the leader tilts the follower forward off axis so that her free leg draws a falling arc before she recovers [1][2][3][4][5].
The volcada is classified as a figure of Argentine tango [1][2][3][4][5]. Sources describe it as a shared off-axis figure, meaning that the couple's balance departs from a vertical axis during its execution [1][2][3][4][5].
In the volcada, the leader tilts the follower forward off axis [1][2][3][4][5]. While she is tilted, her free leg draws a falling arc, and the figure ends when she recovers [1][2][3][4][5].
Dance notes
The sources characterise the volcada as a shared off-axis figure, involving both partners rather than the follower alone [1][2][3][4][5].
