Tango, Swing, Cha Cha Cha!
Tango was so much fun. My partner Dan and I went to Shall We Dance and signed up for 4 lessons. We began with the Tango the first time, but before we learned the Tango, our teacher Jessica, taught us the basic steps of dance, the triple step and the rock step. From there, we began with the man's part. For the man, he began by doing a forward step, or 3 long counts, that he drag his following foot, and the woman does the same but backwards, and then you do quicker triple step to the side. The upper part of your body should be held tall, tight, and the woman's left hand under the man's bicep, and right hand below his hand.
That is just the basic pattern of the Tango.
Our next class, taken only two days later we learned the West Coast and East Coast Swing. This dance was a lot different but just as much fun to learn. It can go to anything, hip hop to country music. Most top 40 songs, you could use either style of Swing. The basic is a triple step, and then a rock step.
Last, but not least after only two lessons, I was hooked, and went back by myself, sans Dan and took a group class called, CHA CHA CHA!
Our next class will be after Winter break and I can't wait!
