Berkshire Hall Beginners (Level 2) For December 2015: Argentine Tango

Please note, there are 3 types of tango: Milonga, Argentine Tango, and Vals.  This month we mainly focused on Milonga, although I introduced something that was technically Argentine Tango.

Milonga:

• Baldosa Box (6 steps)
• Walking into, and out of Baldosa Box
• Side together (repeat 5 and 6 as many times as you would like)
• Traspie (rock steps, changes the rhythm to quick-quick-slow, can be done on any of the first 5 steps of the Baldosa Box)

Argentine Tango:

• Forward ochos 
• Leader's rock to forward ochos 
• Bonus: Leader's parada (means "stop", where the leader "stops the ochos with his foot), to follower's pasada (means "go", where the follower initiates the next move by stepping over the leader's foot)
