How to Dance Tango Basic Steps at Home | Stay Safe and Keep Dancing

[@zerozero0183]

Dear Egils, This video made me cry. I am a teacher of Iyengar yoga. I am also a writer of fiction. I can't ballroom dance. I have been researching aspects of your discipline for a new short story and I came across your videos. I see what a generous teacher you are and how, like many of us, you are trying so hard to cope with the present crisis. What you have shown me quite clearly is how important it is to have a discipline in one's life, how any human endeavour of this kind elevates us as human beings. The principle character in my short story discovers this too. Best of luck with all your endeavours. I respect and admire your determination. I hope I can follow suit. Best wishes. Janet

[@EgilsSmagris]

​Dear Janet, I am very touched by your comment. Thank you for ​deep understanding of the current situation. Wish you to write a good story and .. enjoy your dancing. Egils

My pleasure Giovanni! We all hope to go safely back to ballroom as soon as possible! 🙏

[@tatianayakovleva7696]

Сначала немного запуталась, но потом все получилось. Хочу сказать отдельно- спасибо за технику. Я живу в Голландии, занимаюсь в обычном хобби-классе. И здесь к сожалению практически не дают техники. Базовой техники. Для меня большой пробел. Смотрю ваши видео и заново учусь. Да, и еще учу названия фигур. И еще один позитивный момент- глядя на Вас... думаю .. надо скинуть килограмм 5.Спасибо большое вам и вашей команде. И еще... было бы очень здорово увидеть технику базовых шагов ча-ча и румбы.

[@EgilsSmagris]

Татьяна, спасибо за интересный комментарий. Буду продолжать давать называние фигур и базовую технику. В моих планах есть видео по ча-ча-ча и румбе. Про килограммы мой опыт такой что если вечером после семи / восьми не кушать то результат будет. Удачи!

[@toshiichikawai4927]

Hello i am from Indonesia (sorry if my english is not good) Me and my friends learn tango dance from your videos, the basic very simple but you can feel that basic its very important in tango dance And your lessons is very very good and make me understand Thanks for that :) But Whats name of the music ?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Hello Badawi Iky, thanks for appreciating our dance videos. Music is always in description. Tango: Tango de Manzana by Kevin MacLeod. Wish you to enjoy learning and dancing Tango!

[@juliapaust4840]

BallroomTriThanh ist auf Nachhilfe und Tanz für Vietnamesen und das Ausland bei seiner Rückkehr nach Vietnam spezialisiert und freut sich auf Vorschläge zur Lehrkompetenz. Danke

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thanks Ballroom Khiêu Vũ Trí Thanh Official for asking. You have interesting KZbin Channel. Although I do not know dances you teach, my general suggestion is to use better sound of your voice - meaning when music is playing, then voice is difficult to hear. Try to do your teaching tips without music, and after that demonstrate same thing with music. At least that's what worked most of time for me. Wish you enjoy your work and be persistent!

[@ballroomkhieuvutrithanh]

@@EgilsSmagris Thank you for the wonderful suggestions

[@ballroomworldalina]

nice job!

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thank you Alina!

[@MariaFokina]

Thanks a lot! Good practice for beginners like me)) I see, the movements of head play an important role. Could you say something about them?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Great suggestion! Basic rules for Lady's head - in Closed Position Head slightly to Left; in Promenade Position Head to Right.

[@로즈-p7b]

Thank you for your teaching. The music is really good. What's the title?

[@EgilsSmagris]

You are so welcome. In the description: "Tango de Manzana" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

[@로즈-p7b]

@@EgilsSmagris Thank you very much. I downloaded the music and listened to it. I'm so happy.

[@URockSoRocking]

Thank you for the video! Especially the initial footwork. When it comes to walks (men's) could you please clarify at what moment the standing foot is released from the floor: when you put the front foot on the heel, is the standing foot is flat on the floor? When the front foot is going heel-flat, is the standing foot is going to the ball. Thanks.

[@EgilsSmagris]

​Thank you for interesting questions. In Tango standing foot releases heel from floor much later than in swing dances​. When body weight moves forward, tray to remain heel on floor as long as possible and as music allows. In central position, when body weight is between feet 50% to 50% then weight is on ball of standing foot and heel of free foot. When exactly standing foot releases heel from the floor? I would say just before front heel strikes the floor. Hope this helps.
