THANK YOU both with such generous videos allowing us a peek into your minds on how you think about all the hard-to-discern elements of your very successful tango results! Patriceo's smile at 18:33 says it all 😊 Your video is thought-provoking & evokes some questions here and there: 16:36 I see two tracks (because of the foreshadowed cruzada). 12:09 you discuss the usefulness of the follower automatically striving for 1 single track,.. and 10:05 you discuss crossing over your track. ... How much of your (choice)(of 2-track vs 1-track vs crossover) is CHOICE (independant / whenWhyHow) and how much is from you leader leading that choice (whenWhyHow). WhichWhen are those choices automatic & WhichWhen are those choices alwayyys led? 06:55 Patricio seems to be leading with a predominant advancing leftHand leftArm leftShoulder. How much (if at all) is he using his rightSide (hand/arm/chest/ribs/stomach/floorFriction/momentum-previous-step etc.). Yes you do talk about your right hand at 22:32,.. but can you say more? At 06:01 you talk about turning (more) your shoulders,.. but your left arm is very much advancing in front of your body (much more dynamic than your shoulders); How much is your left arm FOLLOWING her and how much is that left arm LEADING her? Your left hand is alternating between position 11oclock and 09ocklock with respect to your own shoulders? (interesting freudian slip where you mention the "arm" at 22:54) You did say, Patricio, that YOU have to overturn the (her) back ocho; How much of what you "have to do" comes entering the step and then during the step. When does she learn that she needs to overturn & overcross? How does she distinguish between overturn/crossover that ends in a step vs a sacada vs a gancho? I would love to hear more about "helping too much"; What a fabulous topic in and of itself! WOW !! I think your discussion, at 07:05, on securing your future space,.. & not immediately transferring your weight,.. & leading-foot footreach is FASCINATING (&underdiscussed by teachers!). Please please do think of making an entire video devoted to the topic; I would love to hear more on your thoughts on this, Patricio, and also how this applies to Eva using the same technique). 19:48 Thank you Eva for talking about that side step. Great ! You talk about activating the muscles of the leading leg (the one you show lifting) in order to open the side leg sideways. You say that you "reach out" and "faster". It would be so interesting if you could develop that subject in another video, and applied to other areas. So often we only hear about the muscles from the "standing leg" (that give an impulse to to step) and the push off the ground. Perhaps you have a unique perspective on both sources of energy & muscles? - shawn p.s. I apologize in advance, if my questions are not welcome! I REALLY AM simply curious about your thoughts from your experiences and researches. 😅

Thank you for the lessons guys! Your work and talent is very much appreciated. What’s the name of the last song you danced? FYI, when using the Venmo app to place a donation the app asks for the last digits of your phone number, you may want to deactivate this. Doing it via web avoids this request. Thank you for the great work you do!
