How to Dance the Drag: Di Sarli’s Signature Sound | Tango Simplified #76

What makes Di Sarli so recognizable—and why do so many dancers struggle to express it?

In this lesson, we explore arrastre, the dragging sound that gives Di Sarli’s music its grounded, almost magnetic pull. You'll learn how to recognize this quality in his arrangements (especially in the strings and bandoneon), and how to express it through your dancing.

We’ll talk about:
– What arrastre is, and why it’s so distinct to Di Sarli
– How the sensation of drag combines legato and staccato
– Why advanced dancers value minimalism when dancing Di Sarli
– A simple exercise to help you embody drag in your own movement

Whether you’re new to Di Sarli or a longtime fan, this is a beautiful opportunity to slow down, listen deeper, and connect with a more subtle layer of musicality.
