Saturday

Embrace & relaxed communication

This class is about quality of movement and the embrace. Discover our basic principles to enhance communication in the close embrace and feel the relaxation of organic movements, which help us to communicate more clearly.

Elegant Variations of the caminar

In this class, we‘ll develop elegant and sophisticated variations of the Caminar in slow Tangos. We‘ll make these even more interesting by inserting decorations, which require excellent posture.

Milonga lisa y con Traspié

You don’t need complex steps to dance a good Milonga - a unique dynamic and your connection to the music is what makes this dance special! We’ll explore rhythmical variations of the walk, as well as the bodywork and technique of Traspiés and combine the elements into small and playful steps.

 


Sunday

Rhythmic Variations of ochos

After some basic work on Ochos-technique, we‘ll combine the elements to create interesting movements appropriate to rhythmic Tangos or Milongas.

Turns with entradas

In this class, we‘ll develop complex turns that may be applied in both open and close embrace. As they require consderable skill, we’ll start with basic work on the technique of entradas and pivots. After this, we will present one or two typical turns for the Tango de Salón.

Vals - the music

Exploring the rhythmical variations in Vals and integrating them in the Caminar and some known movements. This may sound simple, but it is not: there are certain rhythmical variations which are often forgotten and dancing them requires quite a lot of skill.
