Argentine Tango: Walking Step

Video Transcript

"In this clip we will show you a rocking step that we use a lot, because in crowded Milongas, (Milongas is the space where we go to dance, the dance halls) sometimes are very crowded, and we can't go always walking forward and forward and forward, and we can't go backwards neither, so it starts the same thing with salida, but we will break it down in one part to introduce the rocking step, and then we will keep on going. So embrace invitation step, 1,2; in the first step we start this rocking step, because we can't go forward, because probably we have another couple, we can't do it if it's too long, in a circular way, in a circular space, and then when the track is ready to go, we can go to the 5th position, 6,7,8. Once more; 1, 2, 3, rocking, rocking, rocking. It's a transfer of the weight from one leg to another; and 4, 5,6,7,8. The same step that is called the "cunita", or the crib, we can do it in the 5th step, in this 5th step, okay, so after the 5th step actually, 5 and then 6 and we do the rocking step."
