Hi, everyone,

I am learning the spanish drag after doing the contra check in tango and would like to ask how to control my body to let my partner feel my body moves in this figure.

Thanks in advance!

Dear dear Jones. In Tango (orgnl or Intl) you should be so close that your body is molded to your partner. She HAS to know/feel your movement.This is unlike Ballroom where the (newish) trend is to leave some space .

Holding your partner real close does help with the Tango, considering you are positioned more to the left(for men)/right(for ladies). Personally I prefer "steal arms" though, no matter how close you hold your partner, because whatever the man does, arms are the first thing you (well, at least *I* do!

) notice when he tries to manouvre you around the floor. I hope that helps!
