Steps to pick the right Tango Dance Rhythm

Since moves in tango are improvised, it is important to find a rhythm in any song of Tango Princeton. After knowing the correct rhythm, you can easily add your footwork and figures in rhythmic way and you can easily play with this. Though latest tango is based on the rules, classic tango is easier to pick a rhythm with 8-count phrases.

Steps to select Tango Dance Rhythm
1.   First try to find the phrasing by listening to some popular classic songs. You are required to find 8-count phrases while dancing. For this, you can begin from counting each 8-count phrase in the song. In case you lose rhythm, you can get help from orchestra because it clearly makes a difference among current and next phrase.

2.   Start walking to the music beat i.e. by taking one step in each beat. Make sure next phrase starts when one ends, although walk cannot be changed. So, you have to perform regular practice until you can easily step on each beat.

3.   You can add steps among two beats. Since tango has both single time and double time steps, you should focus on 8-count phrases and the music.

4.   Also concentrate on tango rhythm if you are dancing with your partner. As a leader, make sure to clearly communicate on dual-time steps with leading her to walk with the music beat. As a follower, all you have to step according to the beat. If he is walking too fast, slow your steps down and if he is walking too slow, try to fasten your moves.

5.   After picking up the rhythm, you can include any footwork you may be aware of in order to dance with. If you want to be with both beat and dancing, all you have to concentrate only on 8-count phrasing.

Summary

As compared to the leader, follower has more responsibilities in tango dance rhythms. While dancing, just listen to the music and ensure that you are dancing to the beat as much as possible.
