Here’s a fast yet simple footwork sequence for saltitos or little jumps in passé. I’ve used rulitos or small circles as adornments for the pivoting back turns in between.

A short practice sequence for fouetté boleos –
The fouetté is initiated by the hips changing direction once the leg is extended.
As you change direction with the hips, whip the leg in quickly as if trying to kick your bum. A weighted pointed toe helps add crispness and dynamics.

Why are foot exercises so important for tango dancers?
Strong metatarsals are needed in order to make the transfer of weight seem effortless. When the foot has a good arch to it and the toes can extend to the floor when stepping, this adds to the quality, artistry and ease of each movement. A pointed foot also helps the whipping movement of boleos, ganchos and patadas.
Here are three of my favourite exercises that strengthen the feet and will help your tango technique:
A practice drill for anti-clockwise circular boleos.
In this video, these are isolated lower leg articulation as a static adornment, rather than led boleos initiating from the pivot and hip.
