Glad it was helpful! 🤗 Would you like to collaborate on a Part 2 with your favorite songs for practicas?? 🤩

Think of our four feet, my two and my partner's two, standing on the corners of a square. If we both shift our weight to the hand side (HS) or the arm side (AS), then we are both standing on the side of the box. For a super compact ocho-we can even do a 360-degree turn right on the same spot!-we shift our weight to diagonally-opposite corners, putting us in cross-system (CS). So, for example, I shift my weight to HS while turning my torso towards AS, sending my partner to the opposite corner. Now I can step back and around myself with the AS (right) leg, clearing space for my partner to step forward and around me with their HS (right; we are in CS) leg. I hope that describes what you are interested in. A suggestion for content-based questions is to give us the timestamp where the action in question occurs in the video. Thank you for the question!

Hi, Serena! I *love* Canaro. At last nights práctica in Austin, Fil played Francisco, Rafael, and Luis Canaro songs. It was spectacular.

@@davidphillips79 I love Canaro too. so playful. I love Rafaamel's music, and I mix it with Mario Melfi and Quintin Verdu, also. melfi sold the rights to Canaro for Poema. He made five cents for every record that Canaro sold. There is an interesting history with that you know.

so much fun. interesting instruments. I am shocked when I occasionally see somebody on Facebook who says I hate Canaro. I always figure they are either ignorant of canaro or they don't know how to dance that style of music.

anyway, thank you for canero. ​@@davidphillips79. what would the gender of millions be without his milongas??? ❤

Camaro sits well on my native personality.

Hi, Serena! Thank you.

Thanks! 🤩

Grazie mille!!

Yes, that can be helpful. We can also view the video as if it is a mirror, showing us a mirror-image of what we want to do.

So glad you enjoyed it! 🤩

We're so glad you're finding value in this! Welcome & abrazos!

Exactly! Choreography can be useful as a mental exercise and to give us experience combining moves in a way that flows. For social dancing at a crowded milonga, we need to be able to break things apart to fit the music and the space.

@@tangotribe1283 Thank you once again. Your philosophy or concept of fixed routines completely agrees with my assessment of dancing ( other dance genres) as a whole. I find choreographies grow old very quickly with constant use. I do still rely on choreographers to help me plan and enrich "what to do next" . Your demo at the end of your video is one excellent example.

We are so thrilled you are finding value in a different approach! 🤗

We haven't yet covered dancing to milonga and vals music. Good suggestion. We'll add those to our future video plans.

You got the concept! Wonderful! By being able to recognize the possible continuations *from any step* we can better deal with: forgotten figures, running out of space, music we're unfamiliar with, and making our steps fit with our partner and with the music.

We're thrilled you are finding value in our approach! 🤗

You are so welcome! We're glad to have you join us!

Oh my!! Ooops 😁 Thanks for that heads up on our spelling!

Thank you for your feedback. We'll take that into account in future productions.

Yes, we would've liked to have done a demo to music, just ran out of time! 🫤

😁

👍🏼

😂

What advice would you have for us? (I've not heard of a "locked" embrace? What does that come from or refer to?)

@@davidphillips79 Hi. Close embrace is a sort of nearby embrace. CloseD is really the embrace of milonguero style, locked like for milonguero style where you do not release the embrace at almost any moment. ruclips.net/video/ZBaeDIOV7t0/видео.html

@@davidphillips79 , Hi. CloseD = Locked. ruclips.net/video/ZBaeDIOV7t0/видео.html&pp=ygUMY29jYSBjYXJ0ZXJ5 - Never release the embrace. Close = nearby .

So glad you found it useful! 🤗

You're very welcome. Thank you for the nice feedback.

Thank you. Yes, an essential aspect of good navigation.

You're right, this did go long, and as others have said, no dancing to music. We have ideas to improve.

@@DavidPhillipsAustin It did not go on too long! It was just right!

@@shortsbox Good to hear! We appreciate the feedback.

Thank you, Michelle. So true. We really begin to learn when we explore and teach ourselves what is possible and what we like.
