One line is for leaders generally men and the opposite line is for the followers generally women. The teacher will go over the step patterns for your tango many many times in slow motion until everyone is looking comfortable with it. They will then partner you up with the person across from you so you can all try it to the music.
For solo dancers, you will then switch partners by moving along the row to the next person. For couples that don't want to change partners it's completely fine for you to stay together. We call this 'Couplesville'. During private lessons you will be dancing with your teacher and learning to bring all the drama and styling that tango deserves! Lead and follow is the way that two tango dancers will communicate on the dance floor when they are 'freestyling' as opposed to dancing a choreographed routine.
Freestyling refers to the art of dancing to music without a set pattern of steps, you're pretty much making it up as you go along. To be able to do this together dancers need to communicate through small body, arm and hand movements known as 'leads'. Once the leader has chosen the next step it is communicated to the follower who interprets that lead and executes the next pattern in time with the leader. We promise As with all things, it will take time, patience and practise In months assuming you are attending 1 private class and 1 group class per week you can use basic tango to travel around the social floor Ballroom tango should be feeling pretty comfortable within 6 months with the ability to dance around the floor in time with the music including multiple fancy step patterns and changes in direction.
After years of Ballroom Tango you will be able to dance it without thinking. You will have good technique and styling and are ready to try Argentine Tango. Think about why you want to learn to dance Tango. At the end of your lesson, your teacher will do a quick demonstration to show you what they are aiming for so that you can make sure you are happy with the direction you are taking.
From there you can book your lessons and start the ball rolling! It also shows that the path to tango nirvana is never a straight smooth line. That is the time to seek out input from someone much further along the curve. If you want to compress the learning curve s then you need to do more work, more often and develop a commitment to deliberate practise each day, even if you can only manage 15 minutes instead of the 4 hours of experts.
In other words really listen to the advice your teachers give you, and practice the good stuff. I think your article nailed the essential aspects of this tricky dark art.

Skip to content Recently one of my new students asked this very reasonable question. Technique — the dissociation, maintaining your own axis, the timing, foot shaping etc.
The components recognisable by most tango dancers above beginners level, even if those dancers have not yet mastered them. Musicality — stepping on the strong beat, decorating using the melody and so on. Again most dancers except new beginners would be aware of the possibilities of enhancing a dance with musicality, even if they were not yet adept.
