Every week, you’ll find on our blog class notes and a summary video from our Wednesday and Sunday tango group classes.

These video and notes are meant to help our students remember what they’ve done in class.

Dimension: Directions- Theme: Rebounds & changes of weight

In this class, we had a look at how rebounds make us change directions. We did a simple rebound and change of weight combination for beginners and for intermediates looked at more advanced versions where the leader and the follower move independently from one another, including a very original step where the rebound leads to a pasada.

Beginners & improvers: Rebound and change of weight

Top tips

  • Leaders: For the rebound, make sure your first step is short so that you can then step forward into a normal sized step. Do not try to do the rebound and the step at the same size, it is very difficult to lead and follow.
  • Followers: Keep your feet nicely together when changing weight.
