Hints & Myths about Argentine Tango

Orangery at Bylaugh Hall

Back a piece

Bylaugh Vals

One weekend, early in 2003, saw the first Tango event to be held in the nearly-refurbished Orangery of an old Norfolk Hall that had been neglected in the 20th Century.

Alex Krebs gave a Vals workshop on the Saturday afternoon.

Unlike Granada, where Marta and Manual patiently took a whole lesson over this sequence, this group was ready after a few practice Tangos to take their fourth and fifth steps in double time  
  Slow1 leader steps back - turning through 90 anti-clockwise - on his right foot, drawing follower forward on her left foot

Slow2 leader steps back on his left foot brushing his left foot alongside his right before stepping wide to his left, turning his torso to face hers as she comes forward and to her right, turning her torso to face her leader

Slow3 leader steps to left and forward with his right foot as follower steps to her right and back on her left foot

Quick4 leader steps forward and slightly to his right on his left foot to move in front of his follower as she steps back on her right foot

Quick5 leader steps forward - turning 90 clockwise - and to right with right foot as his follower moves back and to her right with her left foot

Slow6 leader closes his left foot against his right as his follower closes her right foot against her left.

And we were now ready to move on  

On a piece

 
How it started
What you must do first
Getting around
Intertwining those legs
Having real fun
Swirling around the room
No limits
