ABOUT BLUESTONE ART SPACE
The venue is an 18th-century heritage listed building, with a magnificent high-trussed roof and a fantastic floor. It is located 400m from Footscray Railway Station, with well-lit pedestrian access. Parking is plentiful behind the venue.
ABOUT APILADO WORKSHOP – Leaning into Connection
Join Barry Arnold and Natasha Eracleous (aka Baz & Tash) from Tango Touch as they dive into the dynamics of Apilado.
Apilado dynamics are movements where the dance couple enter, sustain and ultimately exit a shared axis. The couple lean into each other, counter-balancing and connected through an exquisite moving stillness. The style of apilado taught in the workshop has its roots in the lineage of Carlos Gavito.
Tash & Baz teach weekly in Bundoora and are on a continuous journey of merging new and old styles and dynamics. They invite you to join them in experiencing a sublime way of connecting in Tango.

Tango Touch Argentine Tango Classes

Tango Touch is Melbourne’s newest Argentine Tango school, ready to equip you with a unique language of dance to connect and converse in a whole new way.

Targeting beginners currently but can accommodate intermediates if they turn up!

We start at 7 pm to add a half hour of value to our classes. We will be working on the tango technique: walking, contra-body, pivoting, circularity and building as we go!
Biomechanical integrity in bodily structure and movement is foundational to internal somatic flow and well-being. With this as our fundamental intention, let’s refine, find nuance and finesse in our way of ‘being-in-body’.
7-7:30 technique
7:30-8:30 dynamic
8:30-9 pm practica
Cost: $25pp
