Basic Argentine Tango Steps
Learning Argentine Tango steps is an easy way to pick up the Tango. With a few lessons, you can dance confidently with your partner on the dance floor. Once you master the basic walk, which is little more than a stylized, slow, determined walk, you can go on to add flair. The Corte and Gancho steps will help you add some variety to this easily improvised Tango, and you'll be ready to grab a rose in your teeth and join the fun on the dance floor.






The Character
The Argentine Tango is an intimate dance, done close to your partner, touching and responding to the male partner's lead. Yes, the man is in the position of power, and he must make decisions about which direction, which steps and the tempo of the movement. The woman partner responds to his lead and follows. But how do you communicate without speaking? Pressure and confidence expressed through the body is enough for the woman to respond to her partner.Hands are held firmly, with enough resistance to be responsive to the forward movement, push, direction and pull. The arm around the partner helps the guy move his partner along. Once you practice with your partner, you'll get the feel for leading and following. The more upright your posture and the more muscle tone you have, the easier it will be to lead and follow, and the more elegant the dance will look.
