This guy has one of the best tango lessons on youtube. He moved in crosses to exaggerate body movement that many of us have forgotten with our "sitting too much" life style. Too many male leads do not know how to lead from the chest because they do not know how to coordinate and relax their bodies. They move like stiff wood. Too many teachers teach steps and figures because that is where the money is. There is an unlimited number of figures so you have to pay unlimited amount of money. Tango shouldn't be that expensive and complicated. This teacher shows the foundation of the walk that you can practice at home. The video exaggerates movement to allow you to strengthen your muscle coordination memory through practice. This video and his many others give you this foundation for tango, and they are free. Which is perhaps one reason some teachers feel threatened by their availability.

people say negative posts because their teachers won't teach them basics in class and just straight into learning steps which are absolutely useless and the major impediment to dancing tango. These are exercises to become comfortable walking and not meant to be used as a way of walking in a milonga unless you want to try something new sometimes. Walking is the one thing that 90% of dancers never practice and it is the most important thing to practice... much more important than going to a class and learning steps. Just walk for a year at least one hour a day and you will be 10 times better dancer than going to a class everyday and learning steps. Actually if you learn steps you will not be dancing tango at all but you will be real popular outside of Argentina.

I get the impression that this is how an old martial arts master would teach tango. The purpose of the exercise isn't immediately apparent, but drilling it will make one a better dancer.

First time I come across this lesson and love it🇺🇸👍❗️🥰

This is very good technique for fundamental movement... Lot of people teaching only the movement... Same like in salsa... No many teacher teach the fundamental movement... Because they think can get lot of money from the movement combination...

carabosse4, the music is "La Yumba", from Osvaldo Pugliese. Very nice exercise using exaggerated movements in counter body motion (for an exercise) to establish balance and position walking a straight line & keeping the knees together. Thanks for sharing!

This video is full of ideas and teaches in easy and wonderful way. I find it really helpful, Thank you!

It seems even just the walk, I can see tango beauty already.

Прекрасный урок по Постуре. Очень все доступно и ясно. Спасибо! Смотрю и повторяю с огромным удовольствием.

Прекрасный и понятный урок. Особенно понятие баланса и работа стоп хорошо показана. Эта техника будет работать, даже если танцевать более современные стили. Но это ШКОЛА! Как в балете! Основа. Смотреть внимательно - хорошо выделены ошибки при выполнении шагов.

Best video, most simple i've seen that is clear and easy to follow. Thank you sooo much

Love this -thanks.Had my first lesson last night

Excellent, the nitty gritty that you need, where the rubber meets the road.

This is v.good tecnique..first class and help you to keep your knees close.

excellent. fundamental elements and connection. thank you sir.

Thks so much! It very easy to follow

Very nice, so helpful for practice 😀

I love this lessons

Goede serie video's! Een mooie heldere uitleg over hoe je elegant en ontspannen kunt dansen. Het enige waar ik mij niet goed in kan vinden is het markeren met de hand.

Esaaaa Pocho donde das clases Te Admiro Gracias .

I tend to agree with the negative comments regarding crossing your feet. I can see where that would be a good way to learn contra-body , as well as keeping your legs together- but it you get in the habit of walking like that outside of a practice session, and try it with a partner, you and your partner are going to have problems. The controversy I am used to hearing is single track vs. two track, - but NEVER crossing your feet when on the dance floor.

meraviglioso

Gracias Pocho ;)

Thank you ❤️👍

Прекрасный :)

i like it

Now, this is true sexy Argentinian Tango Walk.

2019♡5♡7 굿.♡♡♡.

nice; could you give the name of the music?

I bet people who have put negative comments and dislikes dance much worse than people who are recorded in this video, prove me wrong, post your video and let's watch how you dance!

Does anyone know how to translate "la marca" into english?

pas le bras tendu .

I will practice for 3 months. I let you know. Let cross fingers

El tango se camina sobre un carril, jamás cruzado porque quita estabilidad..

Sobriety test 1:53 😉

Are you serious?!? Do you have to walk with your back foot inward?!? No posture, just lame knock-kneed walking! Yesss! Basic and good lead exercises are very important! But I'm very sorry, that one is gnome.

wtf is this? Permanent crossing is not a basic tango move. It's funny

If you learn from this vid you will be in trouble very soon, find a teacher who knows what there doing

I'm very sorry but I have to dislike this video and I'm not used to do that at all. It's old style and someone needs to take it down. It isn't symmetrical or comfortable. Find a teacher!
