Woman: Hi, so now we are going to show you the 8-step basic. I'm going to teach the follower step and Diego will come back and show the leader step. So the followers begin with their feet together, toes apart. Shifting our weight to the right leg and we're going to step forward, one, two, three, four, cross left over right, five. Keeping your toes closed transfer your weight step back with the right, six, side seven, eight. Begin by shifting your weight to the right and your going to go forward one, side two, back three, four, cross left over right five, toes together, shift your weight back with the right six, side seven, eight. From here just wait for the next signal making sure that you keep your spine straight and weight slightly on the balls of your feet. So now Diego's going to come back and show you the leader step.
Diego: Ok so here it goes. You have a small back step, one, side two, forward step three, forward step four, five, small forward step six, side seven, and change of weight eight. We have, small step back one, side step two, forward three, forward four, cross the lady, change the weight six, seven, change weight eight. From here you can do it again if you wish. Change your weight to your left leg leaders and we have, one, two, step on the outside three, step on the outside four, cross your partner with your torso as you bring your feet together, that's number five, six, seven, eight. If you wanted to repeat this step you again. We have one, two, step on the outside three, four, cross your partner, five, six, seven, and eight.
Woman: When you're doing the eight step basic as a follower make sure you don't start to lead your partner. It's very important that you let the leader be the leader and you be the follower.
Diego: The point that is most important is the cross as a leader. Make sure that you use your spiral to lead your partner and always remember never to use the grip of you hands. So when you get to this position you want to spiral your torso as you bring your feet together. There you have it.

[@monicagregory9340]

I am Argentinian and this is a great way to tango for beginners. obviously tango does not really look like this but it shows enough steps to actually somewhat learn it. 😊 great video!!

[@gtorr47]

Woohoo!! Thanks for your comment, Monica. I went to a tango class last night and this video is very similar (different counts but no matter) what I learned last night. Thanks for vouching as to the authenticity of the instruction 😄

[@hdholl9696]

9 years on, these didactic videos remain the best tango course on YT. Clearly explained, and shown.

[@tylerjones6367]

Hundred percent - still the best for learning the vocab of tango.

[@Livingtango]

Thank you, Deigo and Ana for this series. I am pleasantly surprised to find out that I teach pretty much the same curriculum in a very similar way. Since there is no "standard" written anywhere, it is a great confirmation that these basics are universal. I refer my tango students in LA to your channel all the time to refresh their basics visually. Thanks again.

[@aicha20814]

I’m soo in love with tango so i wanna try it even at home so I wrote “learn tango” , clicked at that video , my head : u don’t even know how to wear heels 🌚

[@siennabrooks6002]

ahahah exactly the same mate

[@artemisxw8708]

Same...I hate heels and dresses. But here I am learning the tango..in heels and a dress and at my first lesson I broke the soul of one shoe.

[@bendolphin658]

NO SOUND IN THE VIDEO AFTER 2:57!!!! PLEASE REPAIR THIS!! THANKS

[@glitcheddragongal3402]

You don't need heels and a dress to learn it XD maybe when you're performing but in general your dancing shoes can be anything

[@rouzbehfarzan926]

I like the way you teach, simple but not missing the spirit of Tango

[@tango4all]

Hi Everyone first Ana and I want to thank you for watching our videos. We are very happy that it have been well watch. Now we are coming out with a new series if you are interested feel free to contact us.

Thank you for making these series of learning videos. It's the best demo with clear explanation. The best tango teaching videos by far. Great job and thanks for sharing.

This is a very basic steps to learn, but you can't be good if you can't master these basic steps. Good instructions, clear and easy. 1000 like

[@cbartsch]

Like the video series to review. Very clear explanations most of the times (often Diego doesn´t clearly point out a change of weight/foot for the men). I can´t usually learn from videos but have managed with one or two combinations from the series.

Lovely video... and you guys are seriously the best online teachers I have encountered... but surely the disappearing sound problem can be fixed. It kinda gives up at the most crucial moment when you put it all together..!!

[@lehanaba]

Great lesson and very clear video. Thank you!!

[@FitToDance1]

I agree with Leha. Very nice, very clear. Great job!

[@robvanderwoude8429]

very clear and instructive video's! great job, thank you! - Antwerp, Belgium

[@enriquevandoezelaar]

it is a good and easy step into tangobasics but as you can see if you look properly there is a lot that is not told but is still done to make it work. And for all the follower just not do the cross herself but it should be led. The leader has to learn how to lead it. So go to a class to learn tango! But the videos of Ana and Diego are a great library for looking back on how a figure is to be made (if you take lessons in real life)

[@fauzeten]

Best explanation on the YT

[@laurahyland1669]

hello my school is st cleopas and were doing this dance and we used this video

[@marielerebours2550]

Thanks so much! Very good vidéo

[@jamesp1500]

Would really help if you did it with a metronome instead of the track that was laid over the video.

[@nataliephobia]

Is still ok bc at my school the followers have to hold the top of the leaders shoulder and the leaders have to hold the back part of the shoulder?

[@ChanellGautreaux]

That sounds like open embrace. It's perfectly fine.

[@larrynla]

This pattern is only used to learn tango basics. No one actually dances it at a milonga. For one thing, moving backward against the line of dance even for one step risks blundering into a couple coming up behind you.

[@romalifetreasuresemporiuml2209]

The problem with this video is that they don't tell the responsibility of the leader. I have danced in social dance groups, family gatherings, and the public. The problem with most men is that they try to subgrade you while dancing. They throw you around like a burlap cloth. This is why I relay, "Thank you." pivot and walk away.

[@romalifetreasuresemporiuml2209]

By the way, I love your shoes. Where do or can get them?

[@ronaldbauso1031]

helpful video

[@iancarrigan6151]

Does anybody happen to know the name of the song?

[@hugolencinas9128]

Very good teachers. But I thing that Gardel is not for tango dancing sessions. There are many others fantastic orchestras much better for dancing it.

[@PaxAmor1]

This is very helpful. However, how do we link the steps to the beat of the music? Is every step two beats in the music? Or one?

[@elzo_smid]

Your question is 4 years old, but anyway. Depending on how you define 'beat', it is one beat, one step. Traditional Argentine tango music will be somewhere from 55 to 65 beats per minute. Which is a pleasant natural pace. (some DJ's will call this 110 to 130 beats). At some point, when you master dancing on the beat, you will learn (to enjoy) do steps double tempo or half tempo.

In what way?

They look like they wanted to booooooone!

[@nikgervae]

Could you please fix the audio problems with nearly all of these videos? The instruction is great, but just when they begin to demonstrate the whole thing put together, everything goes silent, which ruins the whole thing.
