120 Tango Twist Additional Variation 2

Straight leg

• Standing with feet hip width apart • Hands on hips • The tango twist is performed with a kick instead of a knee up- there is less turning on the hopping foot. Action: • Hop and SMALL turn on the right foot: kick across, out, across, and put the foot down center. Switch legs hopping on the left and kicking right • Work the leg and core by pressing the leg up and down • You can also bring it up left, middle, right OR open, cross, open OR make variations with the across and out Arm Pattern: • Place your hands on your hips so the arms do not assist and make more work for the core OR the arms can assist if needed • You can vary by opening the arms when the leg comes down • You can add different arm patterns to change this sequence • You can repeat the variation with the same leg (eg a few times left, a few times right) • You can also let the arms scull for better balance if needed Cue Words: "up, up, up, down" OR "up, out, up, and down"
