Two types of Contra Checks are used in PP position in Tango, that's my two bits..... The Slow Contra Check, where you can do this amalgamation.... 2 Walks, Progressive Link to PP, Slow Contra Check, Closed Promenade. (SSQQSSSQQS). In this case, the first part of the contra check is the strong CBM turn to L for lead to create a good line, and then back to normal PP for the second part, ending the contra check. Then there is the Quick Contra Check. Often double-timed, making it faster than the Slow Contra Check, and it is often seen in especially championship-level tango competitions. The amalgamation would be.... 2 Walks, Progressive Link to PP, Quick Contra Check, Closed Promenade. (SSQQ and S, (hold 2 beats), SQQS). So in this case, the quick CBM turn and back to PP is very fast, ending with a staccato-like return to normal PP, and for dramatic characterization purposes, held 2 more beats before proceeding to Closed Promenade. Note: In both contra checks, the lead's R foot has weight until the L foot transfers weight at the start of the Closed PP. Also, the "Quick and" means you double-time the timing, meaning you will have two halves of a single quick.

The Checked Reverse Turn and Natural Turn can be treated a little bit like Hesitation Steps. If you cannot complete the full turn because of heavy traffic in a Standard competition heat, use these checks to help you.

Does this video cover the "Rudolph" figures as well?

I know quite a lot about the "Standing Spin". Whether it is Reverse Standing or Natural Standing - it is a very lovely dancesport figure in the Modern Waltz. Usually the timing is "1 and 2 and 3 and" and you repeat the timing until the spins stop. The Standing Spin was partially inspired by the Pairs' Spin in artistic figure skating, my two bits. The usual follow, especially at competition level/open-style level, for the Standing Spin would either be an oversway line (preferably a Throwaway Oversway), or a Extended hover to PP, and step across from PP. Especially if you do the Natural Standing Spin.

2:23 - the hinge figure after that "overspin figure" - likely this is a combination of an oversway line and a hinge line - so I call that an "Oversway Hinge." My two bits.

A good example of this advanced quickstep stuff was used in the revamp of "Shall We Dance" (a movie in 2004), where in the quickstep heat, Richard Gere and partner start off with the Pendulum preparations, then step-hops to bounce hop actions down the floor, and finishing with "The Rocket" (which I call "The Big Side Hop-And-Slide").

This is a very helpful, well done, video. It explains what my dance instructors cannot explain. Thank you, Caterina, for making this video and for allowing us to study it.

Good capture of the lesson too bad you can’t hear him over the translation

This is fuckin' crazy. Excuse my language. But there is just no different way to say it

35:00 優良之舞，全然自由。 The feel of great dancing is total freedom.

32:00 Center of Balance(the upper center) and Center of Weight(the lower center) are counter rotating and counter balancing each other, only aligning vertically in the middle of the step (half weight).

Thanks

Thank you for sharing.

6:20 It’s important to know who goes first in the Tango for not getting stress in the body.

3:30 We use swing to change position in swing dances, we use rotation to change position in Tango.

Hinge 5:58

9:15 If the choreography is syncopated too much, then I will have no time to interpret the music.

5:40 Coordinating all the joints, not the weight change as one unit.

33:30 Forms follow function.

13:20 If one joint blocked, every other joint will be affected as well.

24:00 Really allow the body contact to change as required, so there’s no unnecessary stress in the hold.

1:20 Waltz Natural Turn, the sway starts from the lowest point (1+) to control the speed of the swing. 1:40 Foxtrot Feather Step, the sway starts while I am rising for balance and timing control. 2:20 Broken Sway, an extra added sway of the upper body used in Charge of Direction. 2:50 Sway to my moving direction, Hover Feather. 4:00 Lunge, SFL, starts from broken sway to normal sway from the lower body.

6:15 Slightly turn to right for lady to have space to PP out.

thank you! very helpful!

35:00 Anytime something stocked is no good, great dancing is total freedom, this allow you to do anything within the allowed time.

34:30 Feeling with senses, not analyzing.

32:00 the core and the arms are relatively still, The finger tips are breathing with small pressure for the fully movable body.

31:00 Tango two walk link, preparation with PP feeling, Counter, More Counter, PP

30:00 The counter rotation is to keep the verticality of core and not tipping over.

29:00 Three step, the CPP for lady not fall over to her right side, and have the core/contact to dance to,

28:00 The shoulders are parallel, but the core (the rib cage) is counter rotated to have the lady follow (to dance to) and rotate around, and not letting the lady to fall out.

26:15 Preparation side step in PP, wind up in CPP, Feather Step 1 in PP….., Reverse turn 3 in CPP.
