Introduction and terminology

History

On the basis of several instructional tango books published between 1911–1925 [1][2] early tango figures can be grouped into eight categories: corte, paseo, la marcha, ocho, grapevine, ruedas, media luna, molinette.[3] From that period we still have: ocho, sentada, media luna, molinete, sandwich.[4]

Name Argentine tango between 1911–1925 Picture
Corte (detención, freno, parada) Break and style of dance (bailar con corte, a la quebrada).
Quebrada Style of dance (bailar con corte, a la quebrada) (see Rudolf Valentino).
Media luna. Half moon.
Promenade Popular salida at that time.
Rueda Rotation around a woman.
Scissors Movement which starts with promenade and is followed by a step; repeated.

In 2010 there exists as many as 200 instructional DVDs discussing elements of Argentine tango dance.[5] These include titles devoted to tango technique and basics [6] [7] tango nuevo [8] [9] [10] [11] milonguero style (also known by estilo del centro in Buenos Aires) [12] [13] [14] and various elements of the dance such as giros. [15] There are many guides and dictionaries to tango terminology on the internet. [16] Tango terminology is described in several books. [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]

Terminology

Alternative names are provided in (braces) but usage of tango related names varies: for example entrada and sacada or voleo and boleo may be used to describe the same steps. The names used here follow many sources including English instructional DVDs (such as Christy Coté and George Garcia DVDs published by Dancevision),[23] Argentine DVDs which often have English subtitles, internet resources, and published books and glossaries.

Basic concepts: axis, steps, embrace.

Body position and basic steps

Effective lead and elegant following depends on proper position of feet, hips, and torso of the leader and the follower.

Spanish English Description – Body position and basic steps Image Image
Pie activo Active foot The foot which is about to walk or walking.
Pie soporte Supporting foot The foot which carries the weight.
Leg projection One leg is on-axis and the other is projected, big toe stays on the floor. This element is the basis of many steps.
Paso Step Side, forward, back step. See also forward cross step and backward cross step
Posición panget Tango close (position 0, collection) Collecting feet at the end of the figure. This is sometimes called position 0 of the eight count basic (basic step).
Disociar Dissociation (contra body) Position in which there is dissociation between torso and hips. One classic lead with strong dissociation is used during the simple salida (i.e. transition between position 2 and position 3 of the basic step).
Cadencia (balanceo) Cadence (weight change) Weight change in place. Used, for example, in Position 8 of the basic step. It is used as subtle lead during breaks or to adjust the follow position.
Cunita Rock step (small cradle) Rocking or swaying to side, forward, or back. Comes from rocking a cuna (cradle)


On and off axis

Position-related concepts of Argentine tango are axis and off-axis positions. Body position in which legs are approximately perpendicular to the floor is called 'axis' and there are two axis positions associated with one of two legs.[7] Off-axis positions are called apile (apilado, carpa, volcada) or colgada.[8] The center of balance moves outside one's body in case of the off-axis moves.

Spanish English Position Description – On and off axis Image
Position normal, el eje Normal position On-axis Body position in which one leg is approximately perpendicular to the floor. Center of weight is within the body. Feet position is with her heels together, and toes pointing slightly out. Her weight is on one leg or nearly so. See also collect.
Carpa, Apile, Apilado, Volcada Apile (volcada) Off-axis Position in which both partners are leaning forward, may vary in degree of the tilt or shape. Many fluid and elegant tango figures can be danced in volcada position.
Colgada Colgada Off-axis Position in which both partners are leaning back, may vary in degree of the tilt and body shape (see colgada shapes). Many fluid and elegant tango figures can be danced in colgada position.

Embrace and styles

Argentine tango dancing consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras and in response to the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing. It is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which the dancers connect at arm's length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between. Styles of dance are not predefined by the embrace itself and many figures of tango salon style are danced in an open embrace, it is also possible to dance tango nuevo in close V-shape embrace. The milonguero (apilado) style is an exception; its close embrace without V-shape and emphasis on maintaining this embrace throughout the dance predetermines range of possible movements and their shape.

Dance embraces

Spanish English Associated styles Description – Embrace and styles Image Image
Abrazo cerrado V-shape close embrace Salon and tango nuevo The dancers' chests are closer to each other than their hips, and often there is contact at about the level of the chest (the contact point differing, depending on the height of the leader and the closeness of the embrace). In close embrace, the leader and the follower's chests are in contact and they are dancing with their heads touching or very near each other.
Abrazo abierto Open embrace Tango nuevo, salon In open embrace, there can be as much space as desired between the partners, but there should always be complete contact along the embracing arms to give optimum communication. Argentine tango dancers do not hold their upper bodies arched away from each other; each partner is over their own axis. Whether open or closed, a tango embrace is not rigid, but relaxed, like a hug.
Apilado (estilo milonguero, estilo del centro [de Buenos Aires]) Square close embrace Style milonguero Milonguero style of embrace is danced in closed position, chest-to-chest, with the partners leaning – or appearing to lean – slightly toward each other to allow space for the feet to move. The follower's left arm position on the leader's shoulder is a style issue. It originates and is used in crowded milongas where there is so much people that you're literally dancing in "square". In those places the lifted arm avoids touching and accidentally hurting other people during turns. Close embrace, no V-shape.
Tango al reves, doble frente Reverse embrace Tango salon and nuevo Reverse embrace where both partners face the same direction; it is now used only occasionally to perform tango figures (see doble frente).

Practice embraces

Embrace hold used during tango practice. One example is when both partners hold hands, the follower holds the leader's shoulders, and variants.

Spanish English Description – Practice embrace Image
Pareja tomada Practice embrace Both holding arms in practice position.
Pareja tomada Practice embrace She holds his arms in practice position.
Pareja tomada Practice embrace Holding him in "tea kettle" position.
Pareja tomada Practice embrace Holding each other.

Walk and salidas

Walking systems

Walking in a cross system is defined as the couple stepping simultaneously with their two right legs and stepping simultaneously with their two left legs. Walking in a parallel system is defined as the couple stepping simultaneously with the leader's right and follower's left leg, and then with the leader's left and the follower's right leg. When dancers are facing each other, the cross system results in an anti-mirror effect. For this reason, in ballroom tango cross system is never used unless both dancers are facing the same direction. Argentine tango, however, makes extensive use of the cross system with dancers facing each other. In Argentine tango, the leader can change his weight from one foot to another while the follower's weight remains unchanged; this is the simplest method of changing from parallel system to cross system or vice versa. By contrast in ballroom tango, a weight change by one partner leads to an automatic weight change by the other.

The cross system and parallel system walk nomenclature originated with the Naveira/Salas "Investigation Group." Early on, they used 'even/uneven' to describe the arrangement of legs in the walk or turn. By the mid-1990s, they began using 'parallel/crossed' and later 'normal/crossed'. The process of changing from the parallel system to cross system (or vice versa) by having the leader change weight without the follower changing weight (or vice versa) is named contrapaso, or "contra-step". This change can be made off or on the normal beat.

Spanish English Description – Walk elements Image
Sistema paralelo Parallel walk The leader steps with his left leg forward, the follower steps with her right leg back; the leader steps with his right leg forward and the follower with her left leg back
Sistema cruzado Cross walk The leader steps with his right leg forward, the follower steps with her right leg back; the leader steps with his left leg forward and the follower with her left leg back
Contrapaso Weight change Weight change used to switch between parallel and cross system of walking.
Americana Promenade (sweetheart walk) Walking by facing the same direction and stepping forward. This resembles a walk in the park by sweethearts (except they may hold their hands together whereas in tango the embrace is preserved). This walk can be initiated by salida Americana.

Eight count basic (8CB)

Basic step (paso básico, basico cuadrado y cruzado) is used for education purposes and almost never danced as a basic step of tango. For this reason it is sometimes called pejoratively academic basic. Nevertheless, it contains basic elements of the dance. Also, it serves a purpose of "establishing notation" to more complex tango elements. Basic step (eight count basic, 8CB) is composed of back step, side step, cross for the lady (leader steps outside of his partner with his right leg), forward step, and side step. Basic steps can also be divided into four phases: salida – position 1 and 2 and transition from position 2 to position 3; caminata (position 3 and 4), cross (position 5), and resolution (positions 6,7,8). There are variants of the basic step.

Spanish English Description – Basic step (8 count basic) Image
Position cero Position 0 (tango close) Collection. Feet closed. See also collect
Uno (salida atrás, primera) Position 1 Back step, part of salida (not used in social dancing)
Dos (salida costado, apertura, segunda) Position 2 Side step, open step, part of salida or beginning of the salida
Tres Position 3 Salida simple (basico cuadrado) or crossed (basico cruzado); beginning of the basic step walk.
Cuatro (caminata) Position 4 Basic step walk.
Cinco, cruce Position 5 (cross) Cross. See also cross.
Seis Position 6 Walk, part of resolution.
Siete Position 7 Side step to right, open step, part of resolution.
Ocho Position 8 Weight change, part of resolution. See also cadence.

Baldosa (tile) or cuadrado (square) is a six-step figure similar to the ballroom box step except the man starts with his right foot, then steps back, side, forward, forward, side, feet together; the baldosa is the basic step of milonga. This baldosa is similar to eight count basic with the exception of the cross.

Some Argentine tango teachers teach complex figures but break them down into simpler parts. Subsequently, they teach students how to improvise their own figures. Beginner classes may include caminada – combination of caminar (walk), cross, and ochos. The beginning part of a figure, its starting-point, is called salida (exit or beginning – as in "beginning of a journey"). The end part of a figure is called resolución. Combination of the salida, a walk, the cross of the lady and the resolución is called basic step (paso basico, la base, salida simple).

Thus, an Argentine tango figure is the pattern of salida, combination of elements, and resolución. This makes for flexible, ever-changing patterns. It gives leader an exceptional opportunity to improvise, and in part makes the Argentine tango unique in the dance world.

Salidas

Spanish English Description – Salidas Image
Salida simple Parallel system salida Beginning with strong contra body position of the upper torso and the leader's right leg outside the follow (in position 3 of the basic step).
Salida cruzada Cross system salida Beginning with the leader's left leg outside the follow (in position 3 of the basic step).
Syncopated salida Position 4 and 5 of the basic eight is done to the side.[14]
Salida Americana Salida Americana Lead initiating walk (called promenade) of the two dancers facing in the same direction.

Technique and embellishments

Follower's technique and embellishments

As in many dances most spectators focus on the follower – her elegance, grace, music interpretation as well as technique. Even though these are highly individual attributes there are some accepted ideas of what makes a follower graceful and beautiful when dancing tango. Such skills include leg projection and weight transfer, stability in movements, elegance in leg placement and leg extension, pivoting, embellishments, as well as expression of emotions.

Spanish English Description – Follower's technique Image Image Image
Amagues Amagues A kick by one foot across in front of the other. May be very small high.
Caricias Caresses Term describing caress like rubbing thigh, calf, or foot down the follower's body or leader's leg
Pasada Pasada Stepping over the man foot in an elegant way. Depending on the follower's preferences she can do variations such as lustrada; she can raise her leg high or keep it low.
Forward cross step Forward step with one leg crossing in front of the other leg. The movement begins with leg projection and turning of a foot towards the direction of the pivot, transfer of weight to active foot, pivot. This sequence is part of the forward ocho.
Backward cross step Back step with one leg crossing in the back of the other leg.
Side step transition The movement begins with leg projection to the side with foot on the floor and slightly turned with subsequent transfer of weigh to active foot, collection. This sequence is part of the side step.
Cuatro Number four The follower's adornment formed when she crosses and raises her leg in front of the other leg.
Lustrada Polishing (shoe shine) Rubbing shoe or foot up and down partner's pants or leg.
Toque (see also golpecitos) Touch Short touch of the leader's instep by the follower's foot.
Golpecito Tap Quick tap done between steps or during a pause.

Leader's technique

Both partners can contribute to tango improvisations with adornments (sp. adornos, decoration) known also as decorations (sp. decoration). Adornments do not have to be led or marked. Several embellishments are: aguja, amague, boleo, caricia, cuatro, enroscar, golpecito, lustrada, rulo.

Spanish English Description – Leader's technique Image
Agujas Needle Pointing foot towards the floor.
Enrosque Twist Leader or follower is pivoting and twists his or her legs in corkscrew action. Often initiated with needle (aguja) position of a foot.
Lapiz Lapiz (pencil) Leader is pivoting with his leg extended and foot and toes pointing towards floor.
Planeo Planeo Pivoting on one leg with the other leg stretched out.
Taps Quick taps done between steps or during a pause. Can be done by leader or follower.

Expressions of emotion

Expression of emotions such as raising hand by a follower and gently lowering it on partner's shoulder; dancing with cheeks together.

Spanish English Description – Expressions of emotion Image

Arm up and down Expression of emotion – raising hand by a follower and gently lowering it on partner's shoulder.
You are mine Expression of emotion – gentle embrace.
Sweetheart embrace. Expression of emotion – sweetheart embrace.
Forehead to forehead. Expression of emotion – forehead to forehead.

Variants and shape

Tango elements come in a variety of shapes determined by, for example, elasticity or flexion of the execution of movement. Such variants gives a figure a more modern or traditional look, it can be an expression of the follower's creativity, or simple adjustment to how crowded is the floor.

Many tango steps are often borrowed from tango shows, but modified for the tight spaces and flow of other dancers around the floor. Many of these steps are part of tango nuevo. The shape of the steps can vary – for example, how the follower's body is curved during the step may change according to her interpretation of the music or the moment. There are several instructional videos illustrating sequences of tango nuevo such as colgadas and volcadas with elements of traditional tango.[8][9][10]

Spanish English Description – Examples of shape (variants) Image Image Image
Colgada Colgada shapes Variants of colgadas shape – hip under, straight, and exaggerated "hip under".
Voleo Boleo shapes Variants of boleo shape; low and high boleo; linear and circular boleo

In tango, it is the leader's step, accompanying the follower's giro or grapevine (see giro). In the molinete, the leader pivots on ball of their foot, so that the foot stays behind the body and the follower stays close. The leader may either pivot on one foot or two feet or alternate feet in time to the music, while staying on the ball of foot. see giro
