Tango Technique At Home: Combined Projections For Walk

[@nikgervae]

Very useful exercises, once again, especially the dissociation exercises. For the backward step, you give different ways for the "man" (keeping leg and foot pointed forward) and the "woman" (turning knee and foot out to side). Are these really for when leading vs. following? Or are they for when wearing low-heel vs. high-heel shoes, regardless of gender or role? You said it's just for what looks better, but I have been working with a friend and she tells me when she steps backward she has to turn her leg specifically because (or when) she is wearing high-heeled shoes.

I'm glad you liked the exercises. The two different back projections aren't related to different heel heights. They exist due to the importance of the back walk for the follower and what makes the woman's legs look the longest and most aesthetically pleasing.

@@tangotools Thanks-I was wondering because of what my friend said but I'd never heard anybody say that before. I see other followers in high-heeled shoes project directly back all the time.
