The Art of Tango Turn Workshop

 

50 years ago Mingo Pugliese revolutionised the dance by creating the ‘Estructura de Giro en 8’ – a turning structure that not only organises movement but unlocks endless possibilities on the dancefloor.
This workshop is for leaders and followers and is aimed at social dancers who want to refine their technique. It will take place on Saturday 29 March at 12 Surrey Road South Yarra from 6 – 7:30pm. The workshop will be conducted by Bill Jarman of Tango Bajo and Leonel Colque of Leonel Victoria Tango, two of Melbourne’s best teachers collaborating to share their collective tango wisdom. $70 per couple or $40 per individual. For any queries, PM us or Leonel Victoria Tango.
Workshop participants will also be entitled to a reduced price entry of $20 into BIlz Milonga which starts at 8pm.

Tango Challenge with Leonel

TANGO CHALLENGE

Progression, Not Perfection
Are you ready to take your tango to the next level? The Tango Challenge is a unique workshop designed to refine your fundamentals and elevate your dance technique. Whether it’s walking with confidence, mastering turns, embracing the pause, or deepening your musicality, this workshop will help you build a solid foundation for improvising with ease in social dancing.
Guided by Leonel, we’ll explore the beauty of tango together, working on precision, expression, and connection. The goal?
Dance with clarity, fluidity, and confidence—both as individuals and as a community. When we improve ourselves, we uplift those around us. Let’s inspire and be inspired, pushing past our fears and embracing the limitless possibilities of our dance.
This challenge is about growth, not perfection. I’ll push you, but more importantly, I hope to inspire you—just as I was inspired by the incredible maestros Gabriel Angio and Natalia Games, as well as the vibrant tango community and DJs I encountered in Korea.
Join us every Monday, starting February 3rd, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
📍 Admission: $35 (Cash & card payments accepted)
Location: The Aegean, 19 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy 3065
Let’s take that extra step together—because the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is going that EXTRA mile.
