Barrida happens when the Leader...

Barrida happens when the Leader drags / sweeps / pushes Follower's foot. Arrastre is when the Follower foot is being magically pulled by the leader to make it look like she is sweeping him.

So how does the Follower know to leave her foot so you can sweep it? How to let her know? How to lead the sweeping action to your partner and let her sweep you?

Parada equals stop

The answers as usual are hidden in connection, lead/follow but also in the secret of PARADA (=stop). The stopping action can be executed at any time, with or without blocking the foot. In fact foot acts more like a visual prop, to make it look like a stop sign. Follower needs to know that the stop is happening without seeing your feet!
