Video Transcript

"In this clip now we're going to practice a little bit of whatever we were learning before. The man’s position in tango dancing is very important. The man is the one that is leading, and deciding the timing and the steps that you're going to be doing. The woman’s always the followers. So it's very important the position. And we are going to practice a little bit of what we were learning before. This is salida across, she goes across, and then we finish the step. We can do salida simple, and then we can practice the ochos backwards for the lady, and we can also do from ocho backwards, we can go to ocho forwards. We can add the turning of the lady to my left, and she can switch and turn to my right. She can finish and tango close position."
