Tango

Hold description:

MAN Stand facing LOD with feet together, slide the right foot slightly back, turning the feet and body to the left, to face almost DC. The hold will be more compact with the lady held more to the man's right side than in other dances. The man places his right arm a little further round the lady's back, with his forearm held parallel to the floor. His left arm will be held as in other dances, except that the elbow will be higher and the forearm more acutely angled, bringing the left hand slightly closer to the body. LADY Stand backing LOD with feet together, slide the LF slightly forward turning the feet and body to the left to back almost DC. Place the left hand on the man's back with the fingers neatly grouped just under his armpit, the palm of the hand should not be showing. The right arm is held as in other dances, but will not slant as much forward from the elbow.
