This is only one of many possible Colgadas. This particular variation of a Colgada is called a “Step-Over Colgada” because the Follower is led to step over as they would in the case of a Parada. The huge difference in the case of the Parada vs the Step-Over is that the Follower is deliberately led into being in a counter-balanced position opposite their Lead vs the Parada does not have that position at all. Not to mention they feel radically different from each other. If you want to learn how to do this, follow the link below. If you register (which is free!!!, just scroll down) you can read about the Leading, Following, and Dancing Perspectives which can help you to understand the vocabulary a bit more.
