Tango. Your back is straight, one former British Professional Champion said that he likes to feel as though he had a tail like a dragon straight down to the floor touching the floor and bent along the floor. This will keep the back straight. The right shoulder and hip are leading. The knees are bent and stay at that same height, ( no rise and fall)
The knees are veered into each other caused by the heavy right shoulder lead.
The feet are placed into position and not slid. The lady is more to the mans right side. As a lady, on the first step of a Link turn your right toe inwards. If you feel that you are moving against the LOD on the Link and feel like you are on a hinge, you are correct. Stay on the hip though and stay back. It is a good idea to do a Link with your partner, then go behind your partner and see if you like their position, and have your own checked. And whatever you do keep your chin a little higher than normal, thats for both man and lady. Look arrogant, its all part of the act. I love the Tango.
