WS 5 FLUIDITY | WS 6 POWER, 3 – 4.30 pm
Mastering Cross-System & Continuous Motion. We will dive into fluid dynamics for Vals, focusing on the complexity of the cross-system and how to master its mechanics for seamless transitions. You’ll learn how to create continuous movement, combining different elements to achieve a smooth and flowing dance.
Using Spiral Movements & Axis Control: Spiral movements are one of my specialties, and in this section, we will focus on developing strength and precision in both on-axis and off-axis movement. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to control spirals, use energy efficiently, and enhance the expressiveness of your tango.Join this intensive session to refine your technique, expand your movement possibilities, and experience a whole new level of dynamic control in your dancing!
WS 7 COMBINATIONS | WS 8 ELEMENTS,4.30 – 6 pm
Tango offers an endless vocabulary of movements, but true mastery lies in how we connect them. This workshop focuses on the art of seamless transitions—how to combine structures with fluidity, coherence, and creative expression. We’ll explore how to break down and reassemble familiar sequences, adapt them to the space, and develop greater improvisational freedom while maintaining clarity in the lead and response. Through this process, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of structure, making your dance more dynamic, connected, and expressive.
Beyond just following the beat, tango invites us to explore the rich textures and nuances of its music. In this final workshop, we’ll focus on interpreting syncopations, double-time accents, and rhythmic variations according to different orchestras. You’ll learn how to adjust your movement quality, timing, and energy to match the emotional depth of each piece, refining your ability to play with contrast and subtlety. By deepening your sensitivity to musical phrasing, you’ll bring more expressiveness, sophistication, and spontaneity to your dance.

WS 1 TANGUEDAD – 3 to 4.30 pm | WS 2 ARRASTRE Y CADENCIA 4.30 – 6pm
Discover how to feel at home in your body while dancing tango. This workshop focuses on refining movement quality, improving body awareness, and mastering transitions with ease. Through guided exercises, you’ll develop a deeper connection between your body and the music, allowing you to move with greater confidence, adaptability, and expression on the dance floor. We’ll explore how posture, grounding, and breath influence your movement, helping you achieve a more natural and effortless dance. By integrating body mechanics with musicality, you’ll enhance your ability to navigate the dance floor fluidly and with assurance.
To deepen our understanding of tango’s expressive language, we will explore two fundamental concepts: arrastre (drag) and cadencia (cadence). These elements shape the texture and musicality of the dance, influencing both movement quality and connection. We’ll work on how to incorporate arrastre and cadencia with precision and sensitivity, adapting them to different orchestras and rhythmic structures. Through focused exercises, we’ll refine the ability to play with weight, suspension, and groundedness, enhancing both musical interpretation and the fluidity of movement on the dance floor.
WS 3 CONEXIÓN 3 – 4.30 pm| WS 4 BREAKING PARADIGMS 4.30 – 6 pm
Delve into the exploration of utilizing each other’s space, exchanging spatial positions, and generating and invading space organically. We’ll focus on understanding the dynamics of movement and how to interact with our partner’s space in creative and unexpected ways. Using tanguero’s elements like sacadas, enganches or voleos we are going to break paradigms about the execution of them according to traditional roles.
Generating Movement from Stillness: The Art of Surprise in Tango. Tango is not just about continuous motion—it’s also about the power of stillness and how movement emerges from it. In this workshop, we will explore how to generate fluid and dynamic movements from stationary positions, developing precision, control, and expressiveness. A special focus will be on voleo sorpresivo—unexpected, yet organic kicks that add texture and playfulness to the dance. We’ll work on how to prepare, execute, and seamlessly integrate these movements while maintaining balance, connection, and musicality. By mastering the contrast between stillness and sudden action, you’ll bring a new level of depth and excitement to your dance
