Ballroom Dancing - Basic Tango Posture
Professional dance instructor Terry Dean demonstrates the basic tango posture.
Transcripts
Hi, I am Terry Dean from Terry Deans Dance Studio, were teaching the tango. Right now we are going to do the posture of the tango to help create the look that were trying to get. Whenever were doing posture, again, we have to remember that we got to lift our body, and we do that by doing ribcage isolation. So, we lift our top, lets turn sideways, so that you can see that were working just the ribcage so I can do a rounded back, or I can do a lift the top. We can also go side to side. These are called ribcage isolations, and theyre very important that you learn how to move through the core of your body in order to have a good top. Whenever were working on posture, the tango is going to be a little bit further down in the knees. So, were going to bend our knees. The lady is going to lift her ribcage and so is the man. Her elbows are going to come up. She is going to be really dramatically off to the left side. Her hand is going to be with her thumb, going under the mans arm, so their elbows interlock. We connect on the right side, we both go down in the knees, so have a very tight top, so that the ladies head, when I turn my body, her head will snap from side to side, which is very characteristic of the tango. So, the posture, again, the lady hooks her arm underneath, we drop at our knees, and I will demonstrate a basic step; T-A-N-G-O; T-A-N-G-O. So, thats your basic Tango posture. The next were going to do is staccato footwork and basic characteristic styling of the tango.
