Hints & Myths about Argentine Tango

Cambridge

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.

Lesson 3 began with ...

   
    walk on left; lead forward ocho ; collect; touch r foot against followers left - use body turn to reverse follower before arrival via barrida side step; followers step over into forward .and giro
 

Extended Giro:

   
    walk on left; Close /lead sidestep across you;step back to draw follower into forward step; step to side to lead follower to side; pivot and lead follower into back step rept
     
 

Embrace as constraint:

   
    Leaders left hand in his space - open so no block to follower; hand level with shoulder

practice leading forward ochos to leader's left side
