Titanic Colgada

by Laurenz Wiskott (Bochum, Germany) and Monika Stach (Belgium)

Colgadas are one of the most difficult figures in Tango and great fun, if they work. If
you know the normal circular, i.e. continuously turned, colgada, already, then we have a
treat for you. We call it the Titanic colgada from the famous scene in the movie with
Kate Winslet leaning forward over the bow of the Titanic. It is a circular colgada but
with the follower facing outside. It is a bit tricky to get into it and out again, and
it requires some faith from the follower's side. But we will walk you through the figure
step by step.
