Count a bar in eight eighth notes and stress the one, the four and the seven, and you get the 3-3-2 division — a pattern that runs through the whole tango repertoire and gives the dance a forward drive of its own.
The workshop introduces this pattern, practises it and shows how to weave it into the regular steps. Danced all the time it loses its charm — the effect comes from the change.
What you take home
A rhythmic tool you can use right away, which gives your dance a recognisable structure and can be found in many recordings.
