We understand people who think in a very analytical way. It's fascinating how the steps can fit together and what are the possible mechanics of moving from one step to another. It's fun to explore possibilities.
Since we don't know if you know any tango or, if you do, how much, we have started this playlist with basic beginning and some intermediate steps. Then we move to videos that explain the structure of tango.
If you need more basics first, there is a very great deal more videos explaining the basics. If you're intrigued by the idea of easy transitions from one step to another, we have more videos about that.
An Intro to Technique - The Embrace
- One thing that is truly cool about tango is that it is really transferable.
- As you get better at hugging and connecting, you'll get better at the embrace. But, at least equally cool, the reverse is also true.
