Dear friends,
What you learn as basic depends on what tango style you are learning.
If you are learning "Social dancing", then you learn how to walk in the
milonguero style. You walk in many different ways. In front of the woman,
inside, outside, intercalating double timing, etc.
Naturally you learn to dance in close embrace. Then you learn how to change
front.
Progressive back ochos, ocho milonguero.
Right and left turns.
If you learn "Classical Tango", you learn all the above but you add some
elements.
You also learn open embrace, you learn how to change your embrace open/close
back and forth as needed.
You learn back ochos with a different technique and front ochos.
Then you learn figures that use a combination of front and back ochos: The half
moon, the sandwich, etc.
Then you learn basic moves such as boleos, amagues, barridas, ganchos, etc.
If you learn "Nuevo Tango" you learn all the above plus you learn to dance in a
very open embrace. You learn to lead with a different technique as well.
In summary: your basic tango may vary somewhat depending on what style you are
learning at the moment.
Best regards, Sergio
