In This video we took two steps that we learned in previous videos, "The Basic step" and "the cuadrado" and we added a rotation to both of them. This rotation add a dynamic element to our regular step but keeps the structure simple and at the same time adds a higher level of sophistication.

In This video we introduced the idea of the grapevine, by traveling in a straight line doing tango's three basic steps (front, back & side).

We incorporated the basic grapevine exercise into our basic tango structure (we started the grapevine on "3" and got out on "3".

Finally we added a "Back Ocho" and a "Cross System" to our figure.

Giro is one more way of walking for the follower. She goes front, open, back, open. Like in everything in Tango, there is no set routine. She just follows the leader's shoulders and his energy.

Two important elements are the constant brushing of her feet between each step and the pivoting so that she can step with ease.
