Girls Do you need a master boy to improve the level of Argentine tango?

Through the domestic Argentine tango teaching in recent years, I found a more interesting phenomenon, I don't know if this phenomenon also occurs around you, so I want to take it out and discuss it with you.

It is that boys and girls have completely different attitudes towards the requirements of their dance partners when learning the initial stage of Argentine tango dance.

For boys, because when they first start learning, there are more elements to consider, and they have to remember their own dance steps, and they have to remember the dance steps of girls, and they also have to consider the dance line, musicality, etc. in the future, so in the first 1-2 years of learning tango, you need to be alone, and even if the level of the opposite dance partner is high, it cannot help the boys' progress.

For girls, it is a completely different situation. At the beginning of learning, girls just need to manage themselves, do not need to consider too many elements, mainly feel the lead of boys. So as long as the opposite boy's tango level is slightly higher than her own, the girl will feel that the jump is very smooth, and even feel that her level changes with the level of the opposite boy.

Based on the above two situations, it has led to the following phenomenon, that is, the beginner girls desperately want to find good boys to jump to take you to jump, and will avoid those boys of the same level, thinking that as long as they find good boys to take themselves to dance, their level will improve by leaps and bounds, and the fun of dancing will be greatly improved.

And dismissive of the usual class, or boring basic exercises, some even a few months of study, they rush to the dance party, looking for the so-called dance floor master to dance, even if one night sitting on the cold bench is also at all costs.

In fact, this is just an illusion, the junior girl and the good boy jump, the self feels good, but not because your level has improved, but because the opposite boy always supports your center of gravity and accommodates your follow-up. If girls don't calm down to improve their tango level and don't improve the basic skills, then your level will not improve because of how many "masters" you have danced.

Then again, if the boy is really a tango master, and he is already surrounded by a group of girls who are much higher than you, why should people dance with you?

And the junior boys will not tire of it (or there is no other way) to practice with their own sisters, or the students of the students, "lying on the salary" waiting for their own improvement, and one day they can become the girls' sought-after male dance partner.

So you can imagine that when a group of boys and girls start learning Argentine tango together, boys have been alone, and girls have been thinking of taking shortcuts, after 1-2 years, the level of boys will be much higher than that of girls who started at the same time.

So there has always been a very interesting phenomenon in the Argentine tango community, that is, the number of junior girls has always far exceeded that of junior boys, but the number of senior girls is not much more than that of senior boys, and sometimes even less than the number of senior boys. It is because in the initial stage, there are many girls who fall behind because they do not want to be alone.

In fact, when girls first start learning Argentine tango, they should seriously learn the basic skills, how to keep their center of gravity stable, how to walk, how to twist, how to maintain the framework, how to use the reaction force to accept the boy signal and so on.

If you can dance with the other person under the correct consciousness, in fact, no matter what level the other party is, you can improve yourself. On the contrary, if you always suffer from gains and losses, and feel that your own progress is caused by the other party's level problems, it is actually an illusion, and you dance well because the other party makes you jump well, not because you jump well yourself.

To sum up, junior girls, it is very important to improve the quality of tango dance, the joy and fun of tango is far more than this, you can go to the back, in order to experience more tango charm, please do not give up on the starting line.
