Vals Essence - Ebb and Flow
One thing I didn't remember to talk about in the video is the way that tango vals usually has 2 3 counts, almost a six count, almost as if there is a swinging up and then a swinging down or a going and a coming. There seems to be 2 pairs of 3 or 2 measures. When people are beginners, if they are very musical, they can dance it a lot like something 2 (stepping on the first beat of each 3 as if these 2 steps are part of a pair).
Nancy says: Tango is like life: Life ebbs and flows much like the ebb and flow we dance in vals. And, for us, there is something optimistic about tango as a dance of life. We believe that most people have optimism as a choice they make:
