Tutorial of the day! Try these playful rhythmical adornos out. We covered this in our TangoMasterclass Uffelte and in our TangoMasterclass Spring Courses Online (Follower Technique).
ATTENTION: don't bounce back and front or up and down!
FOCUS: Focus on keeping your upper body calm and quiet, to maintain a good connection and the embrace with your partner.
Here is a step by step guide how to practice:
STEP 1: SOLO - RIGHT FOOT / LEFT FOOT FRONT
Start by practicing only with the right foot front, left foot front is a normal step.
Than practice only with the left foot front adornos and the right foot makes a regular step.
STEP 2: SOLO - RIGHT FOOT / LEFT FOOT BACK
Practice only with the right foot back, left foot back is a normal step.
Than practice only with the left foot back adornos and the right foot makes a regular step.
STEP 3: SOLO: IMPROVISE WITH RIGHT/LEFT/FRONT/BACK
STEP 3: SOLO - MUSICALITY / IMPROVISATION play a vals, and only do the adorno when it fits the music. Start doing this at a rather slow tempo, but not too slow, and build to a faster tempo vals.
STEP 4: Start all the steps all over, but now WITH DANCEPARTNER!
Remember that it's necessary to master step 1 - 3 before doing this adorno with a dance partner.
Ask your partner for feedback: does her or she feels that your maintain the connection and the embrace? Take the feedback of your partner seriously. If you give feedback: realize that it's a learning process, you have to first discover and recognize mistakes, and then it takes time to find out how to correct them and improve.
