Going Beyond Tango Adornments And Deep Into Your Techniques

April 15, 2021

Tango adornments refer to the unique styling that flourishes the dance itself. But it is far different from Tango techniques, which is all about the dancer's actual proficiency. Linda Sutton breaks down the main differences between the two and why focusing too much on the adornments may kill the social part of the dance. She explains why Tango is primarily a dance of socialization, with the partners concentrating on leading and following each other. Comparing this entire concept of putting icing on a cornbread, Linda explores why every Tango dancer must go beyond the aesthetic but deep into the actual human connection that happens on the dance floor.
