So many steps look cool but are harder than they look. Steps that look cool but aren't too hard are precious to us as teachers. The leaders need to have clarity in the movement of their chests when asking the followers to pivot. It's much more important for the lead to pivot to be clear than for it to be big. Ideally this lead from the chest originates in the very low core. The followers need to not go too fast, but, instead, as I (Nancy) say in class, to let the King go you both. The trick, as we say often, is for the follower not to move until the lead hits their core.

Complex tangos sung in both spanish and yiddish with great authenticity.

From artist's website about one album: Tells the story of piringundines, from German cabaret to the Buenos Aires tango venue, and with the tango it will take us through a history of crossed destinies, and misunderstandings, love, and forget that we identifys as Argentinians.
