[Tango-L] "hinge embrace"

[Sergio Vandekier]

Mario says "There is a 'hinge' embrace ...so, this must go way back..this guy's been dancingfrom before they dropped the atomic bomb."

Mario this is the embrace used today by most of us, it is the embrace of  "Traditional Tango" .   It has a closed side: The right arm of the man on the back of the woman, and an open side: The left side of the man and the right of the woman.  The right nipple of the man is placed on the chest bone of the woman.

It is also called a "V" embrace : a reference to the position of the two torsos.  The lower part of the V representing the closed side.

Traditional tango has an open embrace and a closed embrace as danced by Vidort. 

Best regards, Sergio
