There are certain things that classical dance teaches you that are really important for tango, also, but it is hard to learn them in tango. When we have created a very advanced tango dancer, it's almost always clear to us that the next step to making their tango better is to teach them some classical dance. Excellent classical dance training helps teach certain understandings into the body so they become visceral. These include:

  • Moving with your whole body
  • Having every movement, no matter how small, be generated from the center
  • Having a clear connection throughout the body to the tips of the limbs
  • Wrapping your core around the spine
