Ochos and Turns
This class will continue to develop dancing in crossed feet. Back ochos are the most common way to walk in crossed feet, however they are not the only options. We will look at other ways to walk in crossed feet. We will also develop some classic turns as we transition from crossed feet to parallel feet.
Rhythmic Orchestras and Rhythmic Steps
The golden age of tango dancing was launched by the rhythmic orchestras of the early 1930s, first the orchestra of Juan D’Arienzo, and then Edgardo Donato and many more. This music is ideal dance music, the tempos are a bit faster, the rhythm is more marked, and the music is exciting. Many tango steps lend themselves to a rhythmic style of dancing. This class will focus on steps and styles that go well with this music.
This series will develop the techniques required to dance comfortably in close embrace. It is suitable for beginners and for those with some experience who are new to close embrace.
Check Step Turns
In this class we will develop a family of rhythmic turns I call check step turns. They are dynamic, compact turns that work well on the social dance floor, including the ocho cortado and some nice variations.
Milonga
Milonga is one of the other styles of music you hear when you go out dancing tango. Often dancers sit down when milongas come on, and as a result miss out dancing to this lovely, fun music. Starting from fundamentals this class will develop a smooth and musical walking style of milonga and a vocabulary that will work easily on the dance floor.
