Footwork and steps are very simple. There is a slight swaying throughout the dance, and lots of rotation. There are only 3 steps : Natural turns, reverse turns and change steps. Strictly Come Dancing video clip
The dance is very smooth and should never be abrupt. The timing is slow-quick-quick-slow, and the dancers should move off on the slow, and let the feet take over for the quicks. The dance is serious and this should be reflected in the faces of the participants. The basic steps are reverse turns, natural turns, feather steps, weaves and lines. Generally the dance is done in a criss-cross across the floor. Strictly
Come Dancing video clip The dance is very quick and there is a lot of work on the balls of the feet - strong ankles are needed! The timing is slow-quick-quick-slow-quick-quick, normally heel-toe-toe-heel-toe-toe, though this can vary. Steps are the natural and reverse turns, plus chasse, lock step, turning lock step, spin turn, pivot and runs. Strictly Come Dancing video clip The tango is not at all fluid, and is extremely rigid and angular. The facial expression is extremely serious throughout. The dance is also very flat with no rise and fall, with the knees slightly bent. Walks, links, rock turns and 'promenade position' (where both dancers walk side by side) are all used.
