My dance partner and I have just started our Argentine Tango journey and we both love your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and helping us to begin this journey.
Excellent tutorial. You both explain and show the steps to the three dance movements very well. Consider combining all three movements to music at the end of the tutorial.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video, it’s very informative and you two are very easy to understand and follow. I used this for a tango in a play I did and it worked like a charm! 🙌
I enjoyed your analysis very clear a useful cheers im attending beginer and improver ballroom and latin evening classes and i like the latin styles more my favoueites are cha cha cha and rhumba we do some ballroom tango which i like but there are no classes in Argentine tango currently near me i did try just before the Bat flu crises and enjoyed it now i will look for your videos Muchas gracias greetings from Scotland
For all who are watching the basic step. It has 8 steps. We can cut into the basic pattern, add an adornment … in this video the adornment are the Ocho Cortado and Giro, then return to the basic and finish it. I like how you mention the “Tiny” step. I have usually made that step larger. I like your idea of a small step.
when I learned argentine tango, the basic step - your 8th step was our first :D we were starting with that one and ending with your 7th as our 8th edit: I paused the video while writing the comment and you just answered it right after I unpaused :D
I'm looking to just get some basics down for a one off performance so this is wonderful and super helpful! I love you went into explanation and multiple angles! Thank you!
So...I have just been learning the first basic steps and ... true ... I have been taught that step one is to step back with the right first. The entire sequence is exactly the same; but, that backward step y'all do is at the end! I also notice that the side step is much wider than I have learned. Interesting!.
The problem with closing everytime is, when unconfident or unexperience leader become too comfortable. Argentine Tango is a improvisational dance not just repetive figures as in American Smooth.
I agree with your comment, Joseph, but with beginners, first there is an instrument to learn, then later you learn to play the jazz of dance which is the tango. This is a vital video for learning a basic instrument or two for the bodies to use at the very beginning.
At the Men’s Practica, in the last hundred years, one would have learned the Woman’s Part, before taking on the Man’s part; so, as to teach one dancing that role how to successfully prosecute any particular`Figura’.
Now it is common, at least around Philly, that we switch roles. There are quite a few women...95% of them, that decline leadingbon thecthird song of a Tanda.
I was taught to do the giro -side, forward, side, back, side. The back step is hard to do in this combination. I think I’d prefer your combination of side, back, side, forward, close. Just wondering what you think?
Giro has 4 steps as you said. You can start it from any of them. For example, your first movement could be a giro without salida. As the teacher said: as beginner make a salida, in the future you will be free.
Hello Nubby. You can start tue molinete from back, side or front step. Please pay attention at 9:14 on this video when we are explaining how to pívot “Before” the back step. That is the most important moment to achieve comfort doing back step. Thanks for your comment 🙏🏽💗
Hi! Here in this video we explain the main difference way you can start to the side or not. ❤️❤️❤️ We hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fAQCQ8keAco.html
The beauty of AT is that you can make up whatever suites the music or the mood. Therefore, you can begin with a backward, foreword or side movement depending on the music or where you are heading on a crowded dance floor. As such, you always begin with a "balance" maneuver and then your partner never has to wonder where you are going. I hope that helps.
@@johnstagl5651 That's not the point. I know you can start the dance whatever the step you want. I was asking the name of sequence. We all know the tango eight step basic, and it start the first step at the right foot back(men) and the left foot forward (women). The author of the video skipped the first step and started with the second side step, and called it first step. If this is not a new style then it is confusing.
