Primarily for Leaders: We think that there is one main thing to focus on when you are moving towards choreographic freedom while dancing when you want it to be the case that you can really do anything at any time. That is what is the starting position of the step you want to go to and what is the fastest and simplest way to get there.

For ochos, coming from anywhere in the basic, the answer is: he changes weight, she doesn't, then pivot.

In future videos, when you see something and you want to be able to do it at any time, ask the question we raise above. If the answer isn't clear, click "talk to us" and ask and we'll post a comment to with the answer.

(From Wikipedia): Anibal Troilo was a bandoneon player, composer, arranger and bandleader in Argentina. His orquesta típica was among the most popular with social dancers during the golden age of tango (1940-1955), but he changed to a concert sound by the late 1950s. Troilo's orchestra is best known for its instrumentals and also recorded with many vocalists.
