Hints & Myths about Argentine Tango

Cambridge

These notes summarise an intermediate tango course arranged by Mike and Stephanie at the Cambridge TangoBar and taught by Rodolfo Aguerrodi and Miho Omaki in October 2001.

There were six 3-hour lessons each usually beginning with an exercise intended to improve body control around a critical position from which various moves can be developed. The second half of the lesson builds those moves progressively. The first and last lessons were focused almost exclusively on exercise and practice respectively.
