Introduction2:08
Pablo Nievas introduces 96 sacadas, outlining where, when, and how to use them to craft your own tango style, covering leader and follower sacadas, and parallel and cross systems.
Leader sacada in the front ocho, Technique2:24
Approach the follower’s front ocho by locating the center of her legs. Move close to her free foot and transfer weight forward to create the sacada effect.
Circular ocho follower role2:53
Practice the circular front ocho around the leader as the follower, pivot on your base foot while moving forward, keep your chest facing the leader, and drill at home.

Master the sacadas technique in tango by leading front and circular ocho, coordinating pivot, chest rotation, and weight transfer. Explore using either leg to perform follower and leader sacadas.
Side step sacada, Technique3:28
Learn the side step sacada in tango, using weight transfer and close foot contact to create the visual effect of guiding the follower. Use either foot, in either direction.
Technique4:17
Lead side-step sacadas by guiding the follower's pivot with a complementary right-arm cue, while the follower pivots on a base leg and transfers weight to complete the sacada safely.
7) Back ochos (Small example)3:50
Explore how followers respond to leader cues in a back ochos small example, using split-second timing, weight transfer, and shoulder opening to execute sacada or barrida while maintaining foot contact.
Back ocho4:09
Practice back ocho sacadas with precise foot placement (three quarters of the foot), weight transfer cues from the leader, and split-second timing for followers.

Back sacadas (small example)2:35
Learn back sacadas in tango by moving behind the leg, touching her leg with the calf, transferring weight, and adapting the embrace for space with options like planeo or voleo.
Back sacadas7:35
Master back sacadas from the front ocho, as the leader steps behind the leg. Touch the follower's calf to transfer weight, guide a front ocho, and adapt the embrace.
Side step and front ocho (Small example)2:20
Learn how to execute follower sacadas in a side step and perform the leader's pivot with chest rotation to guide weight transfer and leg coordination.
Front and back ochos, Technique4:34
Explore front and back ochos and sacadas, including calf-driven follower sacadas, dissociation, weight transfer, and fast, decorative extensions such as heel decorations and tiny voleo.
Sides, Systems7:12
Master sacadas and back sacadas in tango through soft contact, axis control, and one-foot pivots, while leaders and followers retake embraces quickly.

Back ocho (differents possibilities)4:41
Explore sacadas in the back ocho and gancho, using disassociation to keep the chest facing the partner. Leaders keep the left leg free and perform a circular ocho, not straight.
Side Step3:59
Perform the side step by executing back sacadas as followers lift the leg, enabling low and high sacadas; maintain distance, keep the left arm close, and rotate together.
