This will be the first workshop focusing on the technique involved for Pivot moves for leader and follower.

Other than the tango walk, the pivot turn or “Ocho” is a fundamental element of Argentine Tango.

Focus will be on the preparation to execute elegant pivots, finding one’s axis, balance, collection and speed, keeping with the frame while expressing individuality.

Ochos will range from ostentatious to teensy weensy according to musical interpretation.
