In the last post I talked about the common expectations and perspectives that new students of tango have or are commonly exposed to, a perspective that focuses on steps and isolating “followers” and “leaders” technique, claiming that they have different learning curves.
This approach can often leave students frustrated and does not give them the opportunity in the beginning to feel the beautiful connection and expression that keeps us all coming back to the dance. We believe, instead, that everyone has to learn the same things, regardless of role. Steps are much less important than moving well, on axis, with a solid connection to the ground and a sensitive and communicative connection to your partner. This approach allows the students, from a very early stage, to get glimpses of what it is all about, and gives them the tools to learn by understanding and exploring concepts, rather than compartmentalizing technique for specific steps or patterns.

I recognize the importance of walking in a straight line and how it’s simplicity can enable learning musicality and expression in ways that doing more complex moves actually inhibit. Some dancers perceive complex movements and steps as the definition of dancing, a view which can cause expression of the music to be lost. Dancing the Argentine Tango.

". What would I say from a dancer's point of view? Orillero is an Argentine Tango style. As soon as you start to dance with D'Arienzo, playful, sharp, with jumps, kicks, ganchos, crazy twists it becomes Orillero. What else? Refine it from the "bad street influence" and it becomes Salon.
