I find it interesting that after he does 6-7-8 of the

Excellent post, Ron! Exactly what I was taught by milongueros in BsAs.

Almost every man who has any sense of navigation in the US proceeds around
the
floor walking facing forward in the direction of the ronda, using turns when
forward
Nice post, Ron. Daniel Trenner is the only teacher I've had in recent memory
to teach this navigation in beginning classes. One teacher here has
incorporated it into his beginning classes, but it's too early to tell what
effect that has on those students' introduction into the community,

I've also noticed issues with certain vocabulary since

Alberto Paz from New Orleans taught us to face the wall when we start.
He said on our very first tango lesson 7 years ago:
In tango: the woman turns around the man, and the mean turns around the

Thanks Alberto: you
Sandhill, i've had that disconcerting experience. i learned that i can
avoid the unintended volcada of those followers so inclined to do it
(pun intended) if i remember to relax the embrace just a bit right
before her forward step, to remove any implication that i might be
supporting her weight
Hello Trini:
The problem with not being able to execute the ocho cortado is FRAME. The man
steps sideways to his right for a rock step, and then rotates his shoulders to
the left with a slight lift, closing his feet. The woman should step side left
but not commit her weight to the left foot
From a recent post:in the video is a good example), the men start the
dance facing the
tables, with the woman with her back to the tables.
I can't say that I've noticed this as being the norm at Lo de Celia or
anywhere else in Bs As. It could be that I simple wasn't aware. But I do
think

I often start with my back to the
ronda or to the tables,
FWIW, I've been taught that this is not good practise because
it leaves the lady vulnerable and unprotected from the other dancers.
With her back to the tables, in the outer ronda, she's
