You know me: I get a new idea and I start playing with it. If it seems to help my dancing, I try on my students, and if it helps them, I try to make a video about the new idea.
We have been using core sliders in Barre 3 for a while, but I didn’t think about using them for tango until I had a student who would NOT put their “free” leg down and connect with the floor. In desperation (where I get a lot of good ideas), I put a core slider under their foot and told them to move it around on the floor. Voila!
It’s been a month. I am now the proud owner of enough sliders to use in my group classes, and I have promised my Beaverton Wednesday Tango Technique and Toning class that I will video the exercises we have been doing, so that they can do them at home.
Try out the sliders and let me know if you come up with other exercises!
