Mastering Argentine Tango: Practice, Learn, and Create Sequences for Improvement

In the world of Argentine Tango, practice is key to improvement. We start with the fundamental move: walking. Understanding the parallel and cross systems is crucial for every dancer.

Do you know what parallel and crossed systems mean? Watch this video. Here, you will find a clear explanation of the meaning and differentiation of parallel and cross systems.

But here’s the twist: instead of choreographing your entire dance, we suggest crafting short sequences of 2 or 3 elements. These are perfect for navigating the tight spaces of milongas. You can adapt and reshape them as you flow on the dance floor.

This applies to followers, too! Experiment with embellishments for various elements in your repertoire.

Once you’ve created your sequences, explore how to reorganize segments to build new ones or use them as connectors between individual elements.

Today, chatting over the phone with my brother, Carlos Solis, who lives in Argentina, about how to improve your Tango, he asked me if I think it is good to create a choreography, choosing a song and placing elements in order accordingly.

While this is not a bad option, I suggested him instead to create brief sequences of 2 or 3 elements that you can do in a small space, like the ones we usually get at milongas, so when milongas resume, he can use them and adapt and reshape them as he moves on the line of dance.

You can try the same. Here is one element to start.
