The Tango Close

The most used closing move in Argentine Tango is a three step pattern called el Resolucíon (the Resolution). It’s called the Tango Close in English.

If you’re the follower, step backward onto your right foot, bring your left foot near your right and step sideways to your left, then bring your right foot near your left to end with your weight on both feet. 

If you’re the leader, step forward with your left foot, bring your right foot near your left and step sideways to your right, then bring your left foot near your right to end with your weight on both feet.

Both partners need to end the Tango Close with their weight on both feet. This prepares you to begin the next pattern with either foot in any direction.
