In tango, there are lots of talks about how to lead and follow, how to get connected etc, but it seems not much was told about how to get trained to do the difficult showy stuff we saw that the masters performed, like the jumps, the throwing the partner up and down etc. I wonder if there's any classes teaching these and bringing dancers to a higher level, or it's just those who can do it will be able to do them by practicing themselves?

and besides these showy stuff, i'd like to ask any experienced dancers here, is there any basic exercises we can do to train up our muscle, so that we can tune our body to do better those movements in tango. I mean like in ballet, we've a lot of bar works and floor works to do that helps us do those jumps and turns and get en pointe etc, i always want to be able to practice on my own even without a partner so that i can improve my own skill. Is there any suggestion?

There are classes for the more advanced stuff, in any major Tango studio.
You can find them for the lifts in both B.A, and New York City for example,
although they are taught 1/year in workshops, not every month.

Some jumps, lifts, etc. require 1:1 attention, and you have to learn it in a
private lesson.

Also, some people take Ballet / Modern Dance lessons to get the basics of
the aerial stuff, then apply what they learned to Tango. The physics of
jumping, lifting, does not change, you just need to apply the Tango on top
of them.
