One of the recurring themes in all our Tango coaching is for people to be mindful of the position of their heads.  In our experience, wherever the head goes, the body tends to follow.  So, for example, if you want a “quiet” upper body, it’s important that your head isn’t moving around all over the place.

Some Tangueros we know recently attended the Homer & Chrisitina Ladas workshops in Oxford, and one of the things they were advised was . . . maintain a good head position.

So try it for yourself.  And as well as paying attention to what it feels like, ask your partner how it feels too.
