[UPDATE] There’s a follow-up over here, inspired by one of your comments on social networks about this article.
Today we’ll talk a litlle about why the traditional way of explaining tango technique is broken, and how we can fix it. In order to do that, we’ll review how technique is studied in a traditional context, what premises it’s based on, and what other alternatives there can be. Lastly, we’ll discuss a series of advantages that come with rethinking technique a bit. This does not mean that it’s impossible to dance properly following the classic ideas, it’s just much harder than it should.
