I really loved doing smooth Pulpo enganches with my dance partner;
unfortunately, she has moved to a distance city. Ganchos are usually
staccato kicks, but Pulpo's enganche style is to smoothly hook legs with the
follower and hold the hook for a moment or two. It's very sensual and fun to
do. I've never seen anyone do it at the local milongas I've attended, expect
when there was a special Pulpo lesson before the party.

Has anyone ever tried a Pulpo enchanche while dancing socially with a new
partner? Any thoughts on the matter?

She'd better be a pretty good dancer already. Usually only my old partners try it on me, but when they do try it for the first time, it's nice when they do it very quickly and they don't try to hold my leg too long. Like a nice surprise. It helps be get mentally prepared for it.

I suggest you do not eat and dance at the same time. it is bad
manners to spill food on a lady whilst dancing.
