"high" tango lesson 1/3: posture and balance

i call this high-tango to contrast it with the more tricky and technically more demanding low-tango

practice balancing a broom on its point... no internal balancing of course, and that's way we should feel, just a bunch of bones aligned upon one another, and as stiff (?)... balancing then becomes a matter of sensitivity to which way the body falls

practice stepping onto a point, and then falling... trying to stay on the high as long as possible without holding...

practice both leg techniques: avoid knees by kicking back the heel; cross without moving the shoulders

application: the woman's balance will be held initially by the man

the reason why i call it the high form of tango should become clear: when you and your partner are balanced miraculously for a few seconds in tune with the music... it is amazing... then falling again, catching one another and then rising once again with the music to another climax

The lady's backward walk is totally wrong and would be a disaster on the dance floor. Hopefully, his partner actually knows better than he does

i always hope my partner knows more than i do

or at least

is more sensitive and skillful than me...

knowledge?

that makes for crappy tango

but a good chess game

There's no right and wrong, only what works and what doesn't
