Hints & Myths about Argentine Tango

The restored Orangery viewed from the roof of Bylaugh Hall

Bylaugh

One weekend, in the Spring of 2004, Richard & Eleonora, originally from Rosario but now based in London, held a series of Tango workshops in the recently-refurbished Orangery of Bylaugh Hall in Norfolk.

Richard & Eleonora led a series of workshops with a small group of local or temporarily resident participants on Saturday and Sunday - morning and afternoon - based on caminita and corrida.

There was also a Valentine's Milonga on the Saturday night.

 
   
  back to basic caminita and corrida

The second workshop began offset to right in cross-system:

   
  forward on left foot (left with left);

open step on right foot (right with right) around follower along LOD;

hook left leg behind follower's right leg and transfer weight for sacada;

forward step on right foot (right with right) along LOD;

and moved on to a multiple sacada from offset to left in cross-system:

   
  right foot (right with right) forward to hook behind follower's left leg for sacada;

nudge forward on left leg;

hook right leg behind follower's left leg for sacada;

nudge forward on left leg;

hook right leg behind follower's right leg for sacada;

continue along LOD

then we began as before and added more sacadas:

   
  right foot (right with right) forward to hook behind follower's left leg for sacada;

nudge forward on left leg;

hook right leg behind follower's left leg for sacada;

nudge forward on left leg;

hook right leg behind follower's right leg for sacada;

step on left

right foot steps around to side of follower;

cross left foot back in front of right foot

  revising the caminita and corrida
   
  combining the caminita and corrida with ganchos
     
  combining the caminita and corrida with alterations
     
 
How it started
What you must do first
Getting around
Intertwining those legs
Having real fun
Swirling around the room
No limits
