"In this clip we will talk about, how you can change your direction. Meaning, usually the man is walking forward the line of the dance, in the counter-clock wise. And the lady is always walking backward, right. But in this moment, when you have enough tools and enough technique, you can change directions and keep on turning around, so you have this three dimensional space now, and you don't have to dance in a line. So we will start; We can keep doing the basic step, when she go across. But in step number 2 for example, we can turn, and when the tango close, step number 8, we can keep turning. So we don't follow the traditional box, we can keep turning. We can turn to the left, we can turn to the right. We can also walk backwards."
