Learn to Dance Tango

Tango uses a modified dance hold, more compact than the normal closed position ballroom hold. The man and lady stand slightly farther offset, causing the man’s right arm to be positioned farther around the lady’s back so that the fingers of his right hand lay across her spine. Instead of placing her left arm on top of his, she will hook her forearm underneath his elbow and upper arm. Her wrist will be positioned directly underneath his arm (possibly, but not necessarily in contact) with palm facing inward, her fingers just reaching his torso. The lady’s right hand and man’s left hand are joined in an upper-hand clasp at approximately the lady’s eye level. The man’s left and lady’s right elbow may be held slightly higher than normal, with a more acute angle at the elbow.

Quickstep: Light-hearted and fast movement, powerful forms and syncopations, represent the core style characteristics of the Quickstep, one of the most popular ballroom dances today in the world. Originally developed in the 1920s dance scene of New York and the Caribbean, as the combination of the dances such as Charleston, a slow variation of Foxtrot, Peabody, shag, and one-step. The smooth and glamorous version of quickstep that is danced today across the world to 4/4 music beat of 48-52 measures per minute was standardized in 1927.
