Do you want to see what happens if you try to use counterposition during an Enrosque? You’re in the right place then! You already know from one of their previous collections, Sebastian & Roxana’s technique for Enrosque, and how to respect the three key moments in order to make it beautifully. Now, it’s time to bring everything to a next level.

Now, you’ll use the counterposition to do something a little bit more showy - a combination of steps you can use in an uncrowded milonga or in a performance. Sebastián and Roxana are using this idea of creating counterpositions when they are performing in order to make the movement look stronger. Enjoy, practice, delight others!

When dancing tango we can all be artists. Some for just a few hours a week in a milonga. Others live and create inside tango their entire life on a stage or on a dance floor. But no matter in which category you fit, there’s so much beauty in honoring that artist, by enjoying and diving deep into the various expressions he or she can have. Immerse even more into tango by listening to Sebastián and Roxana!
