Why do folks refer to “the” ocho cortado as a singular move? When I studied in Buenos Aires, I learned four separate ocho cortados, several variations of each ocho cortado, and different styles from different areas of town. You can do an entire dance almost solely with ocho cortado variants!
Come to class Thursday and explore a family of moves built from a basic “recipe” of traspies and steps. They work for tango, milonga and vals. They can be syncopated or danced on the beat or even (gasp!) slow motion. You can dance them with teeny steps to fit on the dance floor in Buenos Aires, or huge to include them in a tango performance.
