[Tango-L] Snow in Buenos Aires - Toe First

[Keith]

Jay,

I suggest you stand facing the mirror of your local dance school and then walk forward using the 2 alternatives of heel first or ball first with the feet turned slightly out and landing on the outside edge of the ball. I agree you need the straight leg, with either style. If you still think heel first looks equally elegant, then fine - stick with it.

>Yes, but only because walking ball first forces you to land with a straight leg. It's the straight leg that gives the elegance. It's equally as elegant IMO to land heel first, as long as you do it with a straight leg.
