Picture this,...

You’re in the milonga. It’s the end of the night.

A Juan D’arienzo’s choppy, fast-paced tanda is playing.

You’re dancing with your favorite partner, and, dare we say, you’ve done quite a good job so far!

But…

The moment of the variation arrives.

You know that moment?

When the music gets faster, the energy gets higher, and everyone on the dance floor starts turning like crazy.

And even though you want to express the music… you keep missing the beat.

There’s nothing more frustrating when dancing than the feeling of NOT being on the music.

But dancing fast - whether you’re a leader or a follower - can be challenging.

Or, maybe you feel that you don’t have the right vocabulary to dance THAT quickly.

Trust us, we’ve been there!

That’s why, in this week’s video lesson, we’re teaching a tango turn combination that is PERFECT for expressing rhythmic music.

Giros are often used to express melodic music, so here we’re turning the concept over its head to express... the rhythm!

It’s fun, powerful, and will strengthen your connection with your partner.

Watch the video lesson to learn:
- How to combine not 2 but 3 tango turns, to express rhythmic music
- A special ‘intention trick’ for followers to stay grounded when dancing turns (even when they’re fast)
- How to change your embrace when expressing a fast-paced circular movement
- An easy ‘memento’ for followers to always keep the connection in the tango turns

If you’ve ever felt that you couldn’t express the faster-paced music, this video lesson is for you.

Once you practice this step, you’ll start gaining more confidence in your ability to express rhythmic music. Even if you don’t recreate this exact movement on the dancefloor, you’ll have started to improve your confidence and musicality.

Your self-expression matters.

Dancing is SO much better when you can express your musicality.

Big hugs,
