THE TANGO
19

This completes the four fundamental Tango figures, which should be made in the following order: Four Steps Forward and Back, Circle twice, Grape Vine, Circle twice, Draw, Circle twice and then repeat.

Don't get the idea that the Tango is difficult. It is not. It is the simplest dance imaginable and is consequently easy of accomplishment. These four figures, as was said before, constitute the dance, and when they are mastered the rest is easy.

In the following pages I give many of the other figures, but I would advise learning the first four thoroughly before attempting the others.
