Abrazo

I was on a festival in Amsterdam, very interesting, my first festival! I followed two courses. As a beginner at Sebastian and Marijke

One thing I remember in particulair. A whole lesson about Abrazo.

In Tango, the dance begins before you start to dance. And even before you touch. You approach each other. Pay attention. Focus. The leader invites the follower by lifting the left arm, opening the hand. Waits. The follower anwers by placing her hand in his. The leader puts his right arm around the follower. They listen to the music, moving on the rithm. The leader starts the dance.

Fascinating, this.
