Hi Listeros!
I am sure that we all learned "chairwork" for the molinete
as an exercise (forward, side, back, side done in a square
pattern).

Hello Trina:
I didn't use a chair to practice molinetes. I used a
circular plastic trash can. To ensure I maintained the same
distance from the can througout the molinete, I put a broom
in the the trash can and held it with one hand as I went
around. If the trash can wobbled or tipped, it meant I
wasn't pivoting enough and was moving away on the back step
and moving in on the forward step. Since a molinete is
circular and a chair is square, it would be difficult to
practice molinetes. I guess it would be the literal
translation of "shoving a circle into a square."
