Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Rosario Nene Ortega. I'm a dance instructor, Ball Room and Tango, at the Goddess Store in Hollywood, Florida. In this clip we're going to see how do you step in any Argentine tango step. There's a basic movement of your feet and how you transfer your body weight. This is very important. For beginners, so you really step like a jaguar. So you're going to stretch and show where you're going to go. You're going to transfer your body weight and then you're going to close your feet or collection. OK? I'm going to show it from a different angle. I'm going to go stretch. I'm going, and I point where I'm going. I'm going to transfer my body weight and then I'm going to bring my other leg back. You see? That I collect and I creating like a triangle, like a T. T as in tango. So that will give me all the support and balance. OK? If I want to go to the side, it's the same. Stretch, transfer and collect. Stretch, transfer and collect.
