From: Escuela de Tango de Buenos Aires

Tip 2: Think about Tango. Review details in your mind that are important and make a difference.

In every class and private lesson there will be elements learned: posture, walking to the cadence of Argentine Tango music, connection to your partner through the couple’s axis, pivots, ochos, turns, etc.; details pointed out by your teacher: not leaning back, gazing forward and parallel to the floor, touching the inside edge of your shoe to the floor, maintaining your weight on one or both feet, etc.; remarks regarding Argentine Tango music: instrumentation, rhythm, nomenclature, etc.; social aspects of Argentine Tango: line of dance, cabeceo, entering the dance floor, tandas, etc.; the embrace, the way you hold your partner, and many other pieces of information that your teacher shares with you regarding what Argentine Tango is and what dancing means in general.

Review all this in your mind. You need to integrate these movements, attitudes, ideas and emotions into your whole life. That is the way of Argentine Tango.
