Let’s gather together to practice before the milonga!
Join us for a unique and immersive tango practice event tailored for leaders guided by Leonel. This two-hour session is designed to enhance your tango skills by exploring leading and following roles.
Under Leonel’s guidance, you’ll dive into the intricacies of tango, gaining a deeper understanding of the dance’s dynamics. Leaders will have the rare opportunity to experience the follower’s perspective, fostering empathy and improving overall connection. This dual approach not only refines your technique but also enriches your interpretation and responsiveness on the dance floor.
The practice session will include structured exercises, partner rotations, and personalised feedback, ensuring each participant receives focused attention. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or looking to elevate your tango, this event promises to be both challenging and rewarding.
Take advantage of this chance to learn from one of the most experienced leader in the tango community and connect with fellow dancers who share your passion. Step into the world of tango with Leonel, where every movement tells a story, and every step brings you closer to mastering the art. Come lead, follow, and transform your tango experience in this engaging practice session.
