Theme: Back cross combinations

You know we have a soft spot for back crosses - they're dancefloor friendly, they're musical and they simply look great. In this class, we saw a simple back cross, and then quicker ones with both legs to close the musical phrase before playing with cross and sandwich combinations.

Theme: Ocho cortado with entrada, arrastre and enganche

We continued the work started in the previous class on the ocho cortado. This time, we became even more adventurous and started with a "mini" cortado before adding an entrada, an arrastre and an enganche. Add sparkle to your cortado!

Theme: Ocho cortado

The cortado is a big classic on the dancefloor. In this class, we started with the classic cortado before adding more pivot and a back cross for the follower! Time to make your classics shine again!

Class notes & summary video from our 13/05 group classes. Theme: Planeos.

Planeos are a beautiful, airy series of steps where the leader walks around the follower, whilst she pivots on one leg. They make it look like time suspended its course. Great for soft melodic tangos.

Class notes & summary video from our 29/04 group classes. Theme: Variations around sanguchitos and crosses.

The sanguchito (sandwich) is a step where partners sandwich one another's foot with their own feet. Whilst not suitable as a nibble, the tango sandwich is a lovely step and a great classic on the dancefloor too. For intermediates, we mixed it with front and back crosses for creative variations that are suitable for the dancefloor.
