Linear Vocabulary - Introduction

A lot of people teach this much earlier. They'll say this is where beginners should start: learning the theories of tango and some cool understandings. We're suggesting that you start this after you go through some of the beginning series because we think it helps to have a little structure before we ask people to dance without structure.

One of the things that appeals to many people about the dance is the fact that you almost have to be present and active and communicating with your partner in each moment. Because you never really know, as the follower, what will happen from one instant to the next. For the leader, you have to be actively deciding what is happening at each moment.

Artist Name:: Astor Piazzolla
Song Title:: Adiós Nonino
Artist Website:: http://www.piazzolla.org

We found this particular rendition by looking at the Mandrágora Tango website

(Paraphrased from wikipedia): Piazzolla's tango was distinct from the traditional tango in its incorporation of elements of jazz, its use of extended harmonies and dissonance, its use of counterpoint, and its ventures into extended compositional forms. As Argentine psychoanalyst Carlos Kuri has pointed out, Piazzolla's fusion of tango with this wide range of other recognizable Western musical elements was so successful that it produced a new individual style transcending these influences.
