Hi Anne/Pablo....love your work and hope to see you in person some day. question on your ocho - you tend to drag your following feet ever so slightly on the ground. looks awesome.. but I have also been told not to by others.... what is your opinion on this matter? thank you in advance.

We recommend to keep contact with the floor during ochos however some dancers prefer to break the contact. Both are valid options. It’s a personal choice which depends very much on the music or/style of the dancers. We prefer to keep the contact with the floor as we find it more elegant and helpful in being more grounded in your dance.

@@TangoSpace I agree; keeping contact with the floor looks more elegant. Now I understand why my dance instructor teaches this way as well.
