Basic Tango Styling

Tango is a dramatic and powerful dance. There is no rise and fall; you stay into the knees with the quadriceps forward. It's slinky, sneaky, and cat-like. When you go forward, you step with a heel lead. You're slightly off center of your partner ... about 4 inches. Keep the knees slightly bent, the shoulders way back, with the hips and thighs forward. There is a slight right shoulder lead (for both the man and the lady) which would also could the weight of each step to be toward the outside edge then toward the inside edge of the foot. On the final drag or hesitation, the man could slightly lift his right rib cage.
