Good habits for tango dancers

• 'Steel vs spaghetti': Your standing leg is like steel - dynamic, strong and grounded, your free leg is like spaghetti: light and loose without tension.

• Your free leg hip is loose and level (this removes tension from your free leg)

• Never lock your knees: Your standing leg knee is softly flexed (not locked) - this gives you better contact with the floor.

• 'Collection' - Thigh or ankle (as you prefer) connection as you walk

• Push off the floor as you walk - to make your walk more dynamic.

• Look forward as you walk (down diagonal is fine but don't look straight down at your feet as this distorts your posture.
