Conversational Tango - Class 1 - Ocho. The Infinite Shape of Things to Come.

Almost everything in tango passes through a pivot. The ocho is the clearest expression of that: a rotation of the axis that redirects movement and opens up the next step.

In this class we work through the ocho forward and backward, and we look at three variations that show up constantly in social dancing: progressive ochos, in-place ochos, and overturned ochos. Each one asks something slightly different from your body and your connection.

Understanding the differences gives you options, and options are what make tango feel like a conversation.
