SERIES 2

Focus on ochos and pivots

CROSS versus OCHO
PIVOT versus TURN

This is the course that makes all the difference in the world in your understanding of all the tango moves. Rotations, pivoting, spirals, isolation, decoupling, and delay in the movement are all topics that even most advanced dancers work on and struggle with all the time.
