Tell us, please, about the intuitional following! Tango is about understanding each others' body language. How the leader should show his next step to his partner?

[@vivaladance]

Good question and it could be many, many videos just to scratch the surface.
It isn't necessary for the leader to show their steps to the follower (James might be dancing one thing as Joanna dances something completely different, but connected), and even sometimes it isn't necessary to indicate exactly to the follower what the invitation is too exactly because it leaves scope for follower's interpretation, personality, embellishment and style to come through.....
But in the general case there is an invitation from the leader by initiating an action then a choice of the follower to dance to the invitation, and it really is a choice. Whatever the outcome of the invitation though, then the leader has to follow.... and so we go around in circles.
Tango is a wonderful, wonderful dance where you can lose yourself for a long time...
We hope you keep enjoying learning this wonderful style.

@@vivaladance After many years I went to a milonga today. Can you guess what was I doing 2 hours before the party? Right - I watched your lessons and danced with a chair! As a result I didn't drop with my face in a puddle! Thank you!

[@tianyueyu5964]

Thanks for this video. Can you also recommend some practice music to follow for beginners?

[@vivaladance]

Try searching on TH-cam for "Carlos Di Sarli Y Su Orquesta Tipica - La Torcacita" - wonderful music, authentic feel, and good for beginner to advanced dancers. Have fun!

[@2pizen]

Very easily shown! Do you have an online course?
