Weird feet positions
What a weird foot position! Have you ever noticed your feet doing something strange while dancing tango—like turning inward or rolling out to the side? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, these ‘weird’ foot positions, like in-toing and supination, might be affecting your posture. Your balance as well, and even how effortlessly you move across the floor. These subtle misalignments are often easy to overlook, but they can have a significant impact on your overall technique. Tango is all about control, precision, and fluidity of movement. Do not forget that your feet are the foundation of everything you do on the dance floor.
When your feet turn inward or outward in unnatural ways, it can disrupt the alignment of your entire body. It makes it harder to maintain a proper posture. These positions can cause to place unnecessary strain on your hips, or can lead to uneven weight distribution. It would affect balance and range of motion. These issues can make it more difficult to shift weight smoothly or create the sharp, clean movements that tango demands. The misalignment may also prevent you from fully utilizing the power of your feet and legs. It can result in less fluid and more awkward movements on the floor.
The key to overcoming these common foot issues is awareness and proper technique. Understanding why your feet are taking these strange positions is the first step toward correcting them. Often, these issues are the result of muscle imbalances, poor posture habits, or a lack of understanding of how to distribute weight correctly while dancing. In some cases, they may even be linked to the way you stand or walk in everyday life.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, correcting these issues will allow you to move more fluidly.
