Colgada

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]}.

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]}.
