The tip I find helpful is to relax the hip, knee and ankle
Keeping the free leg in contact with the floor is very good tip! Much more balance and graceful - thanks
Dear Anne and Pablo, your videos and explanations are clear, systematic and helpful like no other. And I've seen a lot of them.
Seeing improvements in 90, 120, 180 and even 270 pivots, but no luck in 360, not even once- would appreciate a short video on differences between them ( any technique differences??)
Thank you! I'll try to follow all these tips...
Thank you so much for the tips!
Great tips ! Thank you so much 🙏
Very useful tips!
Very helpfull, thank you from Turkey
Thanks!!!
I have never thought about my hip before. Thank you very much for all these tips.
Now you can make your pivots even better :)
Thank you for the great tips!
you're welcome :)
Thank you for the comprehensive tips! :-) I will apply it next time and update you. My teacher also told me I need to relax/release my hips when pivoting. Will try applying all your suggestions.
Yes, great tip!
Very useful tips! however most of all you forgot to mention of everyday training with legs.Drills are the basis to elegant dancing but most of all physical performance off all body! Strong angle, knee, hips help very much if not prevail in good dancing.
We use our legs to walk and it is OK, however if we want to walk to music we have to have a bit more strength in them :) Well, everyday morning 20 min physical drill is needed to have satisfaction at evening ;) My brgds:)
Very helpfull, thank you
you're welcome :)
super explication, je debute et vos conseils me sont precieux!
je vous suis..tres connecté a vous!
Bienvenue Belkacem :)
Excellent explanation of the pivot Pablo 👍 ("consequence" etc) - best explanation I've ever heard
You need to come to Dublin sometime! 😉
Great tips. Thank you very much. The subtitles are not accurate. It says the head is “scary” instead of heavy and somewhere else it was not accurate but still got the message.
It may have already been mentioned, but keeping the shoulders level is as important as keeping the hips level. If the head is in alignment, this will basically happen anyway.
Descobri vocês a poucos dias, estou adorando suas dicas. Faço aula de tango mas ainda tenho algumas dificuldades nos giros.
Caraca, pensei que eu fosse o único brasileiro que visse os vídeos deles hehe!! Ainda mais em tempos atuais onde o tango é tão raro de ser praticado, sem falar na queda monstra por causa da pandemia!! Fiz aula por mais de 3 anos e parei uns anos antes da pandemia, a volta está sendo difícil, mesmo a academia ficando no centro de Floripa, tem aulas que só tem 1 mulher, e já teve só com a professora!! O que no fundo, só tendo uma mulher ou ainda mais só a professora é literalmente uma aula particular hehe!! Enfim, na 1a aula quando a professora estava meio mal e...>==>
... deu instruções pro professor, como já me conhecia deu como instrução que eu já sabia dançar, então já fiquei feliz hehe!! Mas é importante sempre pesquisar, ouvir bastante tangos e essas aulas estão servindo como bons passos pra usar nos bailes, aguçar a criatividade e tudo mais! Essa dica de mesmo no giro deixar o pé sem peso no chão é o que sem querer eu faço e ajuda muito, assim como a dissociação de tronco, quadril e cabeça! Boa sorte e bons momentos apaixonantes de tango pra você, colega!! Abração e até! :))
Very good info.
Charlie we're happy to hear we're helpful :)
Yes, I was able to get a few good pointers. Balancing and pivoting on one foot is a very difficult dance movement for the average, amateur male dancer. Been working on my balancing for quite some time at the gym using various exercises. If I have accomplished anything I have much stronger knee joints and good balance for ADLs.

What about when your lead rushes you? This is a constant problem for me; I am not trying to be dramatic in the step, not taking a long time and adornos, just trying to have correct balance/posture. Yet, I constantly have leads rush me, taking me off axis, and then acting irritated when I don't respond well. I have been told by instructors that it is the lead who sets the pace; how do I follow that rule ,and maintain my need for balance, at the same time?
Try applying slight resistance to your movement. Sometimes leaders are not aware they are rushing their follow, but the subtle hint of applying some resistance to fast movement may work.
Really helpful. But vieo links below send me "How to Adapt Your Tango Walk to the Music Guide" not Pivot. ^ ^
