Week 2 -
More walking of course! We went over everything we had done last week (which was good as several people had missed the first week) - 4 count walk, 4 and 6 count basic and added 8 count basic (which I recognised as what I had done in the class I went to in Oct 04). But this week she was focusing on lead and follow, with a little about posture and floorcraft as well. All the usual stuff that you learn about lead and follow after you have been dancing a while but doesn't seem to get mentioned in the early classes of other dances.
She even did a demo of backleading and explained why this was bad even if the man was going too slowly as the man needs to learn to lead.
I got the teacher in the rotation, which made me very self-consious but was good as she was giving me good feedback on softening my knees, my posture etc. The class ran on till almost 10pm so there was only a short practica afterwards and the nice lead I danced with last week didn't ask me this week
(he didn't dance with anyone, he didn't even take his coat off - the hall was very cold!)
I'll miss next week
due to being in Scarborough
AFAIK there will be some Tango workshops there so I will hopefully get to those.
