Ballroom – Tango Lessons
Men usually take the lead and the women follow, although there are some tango dances that exchange these roles to make an interesting twist. There are several kinds of tango but for the basic footwork, here are the basic tango steps for men: Take a step back with the right foot, a step to the side with the left foot, then a step forward with the right and then the left foot. Now take a left foot forward, then pivot the right foot to the left slowly, then bring it together to repeat it again. The woman takes the natural opposite of the man’s steps.
Practice the basic pattern of the footwork before you attempt to try the other fancy twists, turns and dips. Don’t look to your feet when you dance, no matter how complicated it may seem because you will end up tripping over yourself or stepping on your partners toes. Count in your head and rehearse constantly. It won’t be long before you’ll be doing the tango without even having to consciously think about what you will be doing next.
What are you waiting for? Go out there and learn the basic tango steps, grab a friend and have a lot of fun teaching each other how NOT to do it! Life is too important to take it too seriously. Have fun!
