Uno schema per i passi a seconda del corso di danza: può' essere utile?


Proponiamo uno schema per la sequenza degli steps a seconda del livello di istruzione dei danzatori. Molto spesso una tabella ci può aiutarci nella incombenza di organizzare i corsi di danza secondo uno schema ben preciso. Sebbene sia logico che ogni scuola o maestro ha il suo schema, questa tabella sicuramente aiuta nello svolgimento della lezione e del corso di Tango.

We propose a scheme for the sequence of steps depending on the level of education of the dancers. Very often, a table can help us in the task of organizing dance classes according to a definite pattern.
