In this video, you will see the basic Forward Ocho plus an embellishment (also known as an Adorno). The embellishment in this video is: the Double Inside Caricia. This is where you stroke the arch of your extended foot up and down the inside of your supporting leg, going up twice. This movement may be done smoothly or sharply, depending on your interpretation of the music being played. You may emphasize the up or the down movement. Remember to be gentle, otherwise you may end up scratching your own leg with the shoe. Be sure that the leader gives you plenty of time doing this embellissment, otherwise it may look rushed and non-graceful.

In this video, you will see the basic Forward Ocho plus an embellishment (also known as an Adorno). The embellishment in this video is: the High "Boleo". This is where you raise your lower leg as high as you'd like as you complete half an ocho. Take care to keep your knees close together and, ideally, one behind the other, ladies! (If your knees are apart sideways, it looks funny. If your knees are apart forward-backward, it's a different dance move altogether.). This is technically not a real boleo as it is not led by the leader but chosen by the follower.

In this video, you will see the basic Forward Ocho plus an embellishment (also known as an Adorno). The embellishment in this video is: the Horizontal "Boleo". This is where you raise your lower leg horizontal to the dance floor as you complete half an ocho. Take care to keep your knees close together and, ideally, one behind the other, ladies! (If your knees are apart sideways, it looks funny. If your knees are apart forward-backward, it's a different dance move altogether.). This is technically not a real boleo as it is not led by the leader but chosen by the follower.

In this video, you will see the basic Forward Ocho plus an embellishment (also known as an Adorno). The embellishment in this video is: the Cha Cha Cha. This is where you change weight twice as you complete half an ocho. This should be done delicately (which looks more feminine and attractive than clunking) so as not to disturb the embrace with your leader.
