Caminata
The caminata is the tango walk: the basic forward and back step in which the dancer lands with control and transfers weight fully [1][2][3]. It is classed as an element of the dance and is considered its foundation [1][2][3].
The caminata is categorized as an element of tango [1][2][3]. Sources define it as the tango walk, meaning the basic step taken forward or back [1][2][3].
The definition stresses two points of execution: the step lands with control, and the dancer transfers weight fully [1][2][3]. The caminata is considered the foundation of the dance [1][2][3].
Dance notes
The sources describe the caminata as a step that moves either forward or back [1][2][3]. In each step, the landing is controlled and the weight transfer is complete [1][2][3].
Because the caminata is regarded as the foundation of the dance, the sources present it as the basic element of tango movement [1][2][3].
