ALTERATIONS

APRIL 2024 - 7, 14, 21, 28

To cleverly break the rules, you first need to know them really well

The subject of alterations by its nature is as infinite as Tango. To alter means to modify, to change, or cause to change in character or composition, typically in a comparatively small but significant way.

Typical alterations start with understanding changes of directions that usually happen through reversing forward and back crosses through repetition. The alteration lets you change the direction directly from forward to back and from back to forward, not only influencing the movement of the follower but the direction of the whole couple.

Alterations show you truly understand the structure of Tango

Alterations give you the ability to smoothly transition between patterns and create your own ones while smoothly floating around the floor. If you have a problem improvising, Alteration will help you understand how to start, so you are free from the eternal prison of Tango steps.
