Description
Explore a double left-turn finish on the curved pathway of dile que no.
Use On1 timing: six regular weight changes on 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 unless an explicitly counted spin recovery, syncopation or held accent is described. Rotation without a step does not add a weight transfer.
The catalogue title is descriptive; Coca-Cola Doble is a related name, not a claim that all schools use this exact ending. This catalogue uses the title for the particular practice version described here; naming and sequences vary between schools.

Practice slowly with small steps and keep your own supporting balance.
Common Mistakes

Continuing a turn after losing the shared rhythm or your own balance.
