Здравствуйте! Мне 59 лет. Живу в Голландии. 5 лет учусь в школе бальных танцев. К сожалению здесь абсолютно другой уровень преподавания. Облегченный, не очень глубокий. Только благодаря вашим урокам я стала лучше понимать фигуры и технику исполнения. Спасибо огромное! Удачи! Мечтаю о таком учителе как Вы!!!!!

[@EgilsSmagris]

Tatiana, cпасибо за добрые слова о моих видео уроках танца. Желаю вам наслаждаться танцeм!!!

[@Mrjeranfuentes]

[@charlessmith263]

TIP: when changing from Closed Hold to Promenade, especially when doing the Prog. Link - especially in dancesport where you do Bronze Tango, Newcomer Tango or any other level of Tango - when you turn your heads from Closed to PP, make it SNAP as you change positions - that is, The head turns should be as quick as possible but without straining your necks in the process. Why? Tango focuses on staccato as one of the main mandated characters of the dance - the staccato is the leader's aggression on the follower, focusing on the leader's domination in this only Latin-related dance in International Standard. Also - try to keep your inner fronts as close to each other as possible when changing to PP - do not let it separate too much or you will lose the frame in PP. Try to keep the inner fronts (that is, the inner sides) as close as possible in PP and you will be in your best tango shape.

[@JW...1]

Thank you What is PP?

[@diegobsh2642]

Hello Mr Egils, I have resumed dance classes .... I follow yours and I try the steps from home .... Eh !!!!!!!!!! maybe having a ballerina like you !!!!!! it would be all easier !!!!! :-))))))

[@EgilsSmagris]

Yea, practicing more with your dance partner would help!

[@TheShaaagggy]

Здравствуйте, Эгилс! Хорошие у вас ролики! Полезные! Группа "начинающей молодежи" совсем не похожа на начинающую. )) Такое ощущение, что многие парни очень даже хорошо танцуют конкурсный стандарт. )) Только на этот урок в кроссовках пришли. Если качество их танца результат Ваших уроков, то примите мои искренние поздравления! Желаю удачи в творчестве! С нетерпением жду новых обучалок!

[@EgilsSmagris]

Здравствуйте! Спасибо за коментарий! Эта группа учится методам как учить начинаюших. Некоторие из танцоров очевидно хорошего уровнья, но они в основном не мои ученики :)

Isn't the footwork for him in the rockturn at step three ball heel? Because of the Little backward step and so the front foot has to be pulled from the heel not the inner edge of the ball... Or am I wrong? I'm dancing it like this

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thanks for interesting question. This is described in technique books and I prefer in some backward steps for Man version with releasing heel of front foot from the floor at end of step. Because on Man's more forward poise and control of the movement in some backward steps (also like 1st step of Back Corte; 3rd step of Reverse Turn) when heel of back foot is lowering at the end of step, at same time heel of front foot (not the toe) is released from the floor. ISTD technique book puts it like this: Whenever the Man steps back LF with a L side lead, the R heel will be released as RF commences to move back into the following step. At the commencement of all other back steps the toe of the front foot will be released. When the Lady steps back on either foot the front toe will be released.

[@gsprmssr2011]

How cool, thanks.

[@AlaTeplyuk]

谢谢陈陈，很高兴你欣赏这个探戈视频！ Thanks Chen chen, glad you appreciate this tango video!

[@charlessmith263]

If I want to teach the Rock Turn to couples, I always refer to the step diagram in Victor Sylvester's "Modern Ballroom Dancing" book, to help me remember this pattern....... The Rock Turn consists usually of 8 steps in 3 parts.... The 2 Walks - SS Man LR (Lady RL)- going usually straight curving slightly to the R, usually along the LOD. The Rocks - QQS - For the man, rock forward, replace, back (LRL) (Lady rock back, replace, forward RLR), with the man backing the LOD, actually backing diag. to center The Back Tango Close - QQS - For the man, back step on R, side step to L, close up with R, (Lady, forward step on L, side step to R, close up to L), usually ending with the male facing LOD or facing a little diag. to wall. But I think the Rock Turn is only actually 6 steps that are preceded by the famous Two Walks, which is my favorite precede to this tango figure. So with this, the Rock Turn is "rock, replace, movement forward or back, and....movement forward or back, side, close."

[@charlessmith263]

I think the amount of turn in the Rock Turn is 3/8 or so between steps 4-5 of it. The turn is to the L.

Thanks Caren for appreciating this video. Tango we teach is not Argentine Tango, but so called international Tango which is part of Dance Sport programm. Unfortunately I cannot give you advice about Argentine Tango and schools in Argentina.

Wow this is how cultural appropriation dance tango. Really ? This is far far really far from tango. This Is disgusting. The music is pathetic. Is cliche. Is so far from Argentinean culture.
