Music – Tango 4/4 Temp –  28 measures of 4 beats per minute; 112 beats per minute Pattern – Optional Duration – The time required to skate 2 sequences is 1:43 min Patterns, Step Charts & Additional Information “This is a romantic sinuous dance which expresses the soft, lyrical interpretive characteristics of the Tango. It must be skated with deep edges. Foot and body movements must be deliberate and convey a sense of dignity approaching arrogance. Very erect carriage, precise timing, and continuous flow must be maintained. The difficulty of the steps should not be revealed in awkward or stressed upper body positions. Finally, coordination of free leg movements is essential to avoid a tangled, confused effect.” Inventors – Ludmilla Pakhomova, Alexander Gorshkov and Elena Tchaikovskaya First Performance – Moscow, 1974
