Let’s restore the elegance to ballroom dancing.
BASIC ELEGANT LOOKING SOUL OF TANGO
To dance the Tango you must feel the
music, you and your partner must dance as
one body and soul and move with elegance – not just executing step
patterns.

Ballroom Dancing is the best form of physical exercise for a happier, healthier and longer life. It makes the blood flow throughout the entire body and up to the brain.
Reduces stress and chances of Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s, Obesity and other diseases.
BASIC ELEGANT LOOKING SOUL OF TANGO
To dance the Tango you must feel the music, you and your partner must dance as
one body and soul and move with elegance – not just executing step patterns.
1. Always dance with long leg extensions from the hips only.
2. Reach with a straight leg extended and not with bent knees.
3. Land on the ball of the foot softly like an airplane lands not like a helicopter landing. And never land with the heel first.
4. Keep the bodies centered.
5. Dance at an even level like you are floating on a cloud across the floor – not clomping.
6. Do not land the foot so that your partner can feel your foot landing on the floor.
7. Left foot lands facing slightly left (like 11 o’clock on the dial of a clock). Right foot lands facing slightly right (like 1 o’clock on the dial of a clock).
8. When stepping forward extend the straight legs from inside the thighs and not the knees bent forward.
9. Try to always dance so that one foot is directly in front of the other (whenever possible.)
10. Step forward placing the foot centered under your chin – not under shoulders.
11. When stepping backward – take long steps from the hip.
12. Ladies when executing ochos, take a long step with the right foot facing
1 o’clock around the right side of your partner (not out of the circle,) twisting your hip to the right and return placing your left foot facing
11 o’clock directly in front and center of the man’s body.
13. Ladies left hand must never use the man’s body to keep a balance.
14. Gentlemen should never bounce up and down or use the left hand in a like manner.
15. With your partner, interpret the Tango Music dancing inside its soul.
16. Stand elegantly erect and try never to look at the floor.
I would appreciate your comments, regarding this information.
