- Do not be afraid to make that back step. If you are given the energy for a big step, do go with it. Whatever you do, try not to kill that energy, since it may give you the force you need in dynamics.
- When you pivot, make sure you do so on one foot and for starters, with your heels close together. Work on that until you get it right and then you can start playing. :)
- Keep a straight and pleasant posture, relaxed and comfortable, yet offering some tension in the arms.
- If you want to help your leader, be sure to make a step only if he gives you the energy for it. Try not to anticipate, but more likely to adapt.
- If you can, try not to pin point the leader's chest. Instead, try closing the eyes to better feel the couple.
- A leader doesn't always make the same steps as the ones he leads, so you can't dance just by looking at his feet. And neither should he just by looking at yours.
- Whatever you do (steps, voleos, giros, ganchos, even mistakes), do so by looking great! :)
- If you make a mistake, don't stop. A good leader will adapt to it and just go on dancing.
- Never be afraid to accept a dance invitation. Every tango experience is good experience.
