The Walking Turn is one of Eight Types of Turns in Argentine Tango. Unfortunately, this turn doesn’t get talked about all that often for one reason, that IF and WHEN it’s used, it has two built-in problems: 1.) For a single step or two, it can break the LINE of dance. 2.) During the walking turn phase, the turn can go ‘wide’, thereby breaking the LANE of one’s dance. Uuuugh! Both of these elements make the turn nearly unusable. Unless, there’s always an ‘unless’ to these things, one learns how to negate those two issues, and then the turn becomes not only wholly usable but loads and loads of fun for both roles. Fortunately for you, you have a complete resource on this turn. Which is a nice seque and reminder to you to follow the link below. If you register (which is free!!!, just scroll down) you can read about the Leading, Following, and Dancing Perspectives which can help you to understand the vocabulary a bit more. But if you subscribe (please) you can see the complete video and more including every video on the site, for one price!
