Hello Little Girl Dance 1st Lesson

We started working on the tango for 'Hello Little Girl'. Kat gave us a bit of general information on how the tango has a Slow-Slow-Quick-Quick-Slow rhythm and that it isn't a particularly flowing dance and everything is quite firm. We then listened to a bit of tango music to get a feel of the rhythm before starting to learn the steps. We started off by simply by me walking towards Jess in a Slow-Slow-Quick-Quick-Slow rhythm and Jess walking backwards the same way. Then in the same rhythm we walked around each other in a circle with her hand on my chest to show that she doesn't want the Wolf getting too close. We then lunge across each other and interlock arms before I circle my arm around freeing myself from her and then I spin her around by the shoulder. She then goes to run away, to get away form the Wolf, but I grab her hand and pull her back in and then she leans right back with me supporting her. She then tries to get away from me once more, but again I grab her hand and twist her into me before doing a lift where she hops onto my leg and then off again. We found this quite hard to grasp because we didn't know the best way to do it, but Kat helped us work it out and it looked great. After Jess lands, she does a roll on the floor as I slowly and creepily turn to look at her. Then similar to the beginning, I walk towards her in the Slow-Slow-Quick-Quick-Slow rhythm and Jess walks backwards the same. It took us a few attempts to remember the routine and fit it in time with the music but we did it in the end and we were both very happy with it.
