Simple Tangos Marcaje [Flamenco Dance Steps]
Add this to your collection of tangos steps.
It’s a simple yet punchy tangos marking step followed by a quick finish.
Enjoy!
A note
The ending works great with the caída of the cante or when the guitar resolves.
Because we’re never exactly sure what is going to happen until we’re out there dancing with live music, you may want to adjust the number of marking steps you do before the last part so that it matches up well with the music.
Since that last move is simple, just two golpes with a little dibujo, you can easily add it in the moment.
Dibujo - drawing (in flamenco, drawing with your feet)
Because it can be hard at times to anticipate the caída, little low stress remates like this are good to keep in your pocket.
