[Dance] Argentine Tango group class No. 17

First, we practiced Cadencia. We did two variations. The first variation goes like this:
1. Step to the left with the left foot.
2. Step backward with the right foot.
3. Perform Cadencia; step to the left with the left foot and split the weight on both feet, shift the weight to the right foot, shift the weight to the left foot.

The second variation goes like this:
1. Step to the left with the left foot.
2. Step forward with the right foot.
3. Perform Cadencia; step forward with the left foot and split the weight on both feet, shift the weight to the right foot, shift the weight to the left foot.

The follower is not likely to perform Cruzada with the second variation.

Second, the teacher introduced us to Cadena to the right. The steps go like this:
1. Step to the left with the left foot and perform Double Step (close the right foot to the left foot and shift the weight to the right foot).
2. Step forward with the left foot and start rotating to the right.
3. Step forward with the right foot to the left side of the follower and land behind the follower's left foot. This is the beginning of Cadena.
4. Pivot on the right foot to the right and step to the left with the left foot.
5. Step backward with the right foot slightly to the left. Pivoting on the left foot can make this step easier.
6. Cross the left foot in front of the right foot.

Many students had difficulty performing these steps. So the teacher taught us another right tuning move, Giro to the right. The steps go like this:
1. Step to the left with the left foot.
2. Step forward with the right foot. Start rotating to the right.
3. Rotate on the right foot to the right and step backward with the left foot slightly to the left.
4. Step backward with the right foot slightly to the left.
5. Step backward with the left foot.
6. Pivot on the left foot to the right. Step slightly to the right with the right foot.
7. Step forward with the left foot.

The Giro movement starts on step 2 above. On the 5th step of Giro, step 6 above, we can do Cadencia. To perform Cadencia at this point, split the weight on both feet, shift the weight to the left foot and step backward with the right foot.
