These notes
summarise a basic tango course taught by
Rodolfo Aguerrodi and Miho Omaki in
October 2001.
There were four
3-hour lessons each usually beginning,
Rodolfo-style, with an exercise to
improve body control around a critical
position from which various moves can be
developed.
The second half
of the lesson builds those moves
progressively. The first and last lessons
were focused almost exclusively on
exercise and practice respectively.
