When dancing we would exaggerate this natural movement. The Tango is performed to a staccato type rhythm. Staccato music has distinct breaks between successive tones. The Draw looks best when it is a slow draw timed so that the free foot reaches the weighted foot just as the next step is to be started. The slow draw is easy to style and has a pleasing appearance even when performed by inexperienced dancers.
Some dancers prefer to use a snap draw and hold to accentuate the staccato rhythm.
The Gaucho style uses extreme Contra body movement on the slow forward steps and squared shoulders for the Tango Draw. The snap draw is used and held with the free toe pointed to the instep of the weighted foot. The head is turned on each step in a direction opposite to the contra body action. The foot, body and head actions of the Gaucho style all accentuate the staccato timing of the music. The Argentine or American style is smoother with little Contra body motion.
