Align

We realign our legs in relation to every step.

In tango we take three kinds of steps: front, back and side. Here are the positions for each.

• The hips/pelvis should be rectalinear to the direction of step. (Note the grid in the diagrams.)
• The base leg should be in external rotation relative to the hips.

There should be no weight on the free leg during projection!

• In ochos, we pivot to the correct alignment for a back or front step linear to the Mark.
