Argentine Tango follower’s technique 10: Pivot and forward step

Argentine Tango follower’s technique 10: Pivot and forward step.

Maintain the “inside edge position” when you pivot.
Step forward after pivoting directing your free of weight foot aligned with your lower sagittal plane.
This forward step will be directed in a circular trajectory around your partner. Orient the center of your torso towards the central axis of the couple.

Definition: Rotation of your body’s axis as it passes through the ball of your standing foot.
To pivot, rotate your torso in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, producing a torque which gently pulls your lower body into a rotation that follows in the same direction as your torso.

About knees: the knee of your free of weight leg passes behind the standing leg, fitting its convex shape into the concave space behind the knee of your standing leg, moving all around the standing leg until getting its concave back in front of it’s convex shape, making your feet end crossed.
Your standing leg needs to be in a relaxed ready position, neither bent nor blocked, and your free of weight leg extended with a tension comparable to the tension of a well tuned musical instrument string.
Exercise: Move your free of weight leg around your standing leg back and forth.
