This tango workshop is designed to enhance the sense of connection to the music and your partner. We will mainly focus on using contrasting elements in the movement to achieve this.
Rest assured, there won’t be any counting involved in this workshop! We believe in creating a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment.
This workshop is tailored for those with a solid foundation in tango, not for beginners. By ‘experienced ‘, we mean individuals who have been regular attendees (or used to be) of milongas.
Date: Sunday 30 June, 1.30-3 pm
Venue: Tango Esencia Studio, 327 Swan St Richmond
Cost: $25 per person / $15 Students—cash or bank transfer.
We booked the venue until 4 pm, so you can stay and keep practising.
Booking with a partner is preferred but optional. If I know who’s coming, I will do my best to balance leaders and followers.

This Intensivo will focus on bodywork for the individual, and so you don’t need to book as a couple.
Rina and Marce will guide you through posture, balance, alignment and strengthening exercises in the first part of the class. We will share some great exercises to create and maintain a dancer’s body.
In the main body of the workshop, we will use the work we did and apply it in forward and back ochos, such as the transfer of weight and how we can dance the ochos with style, grace and confidence.
Then, we will discuss how to “dance it”- to suggest and express differently according to the music.
We will also work on some beautiful embellishments to continue practising at home so that you can comfortably apply the work we did in socials.
Maximiliano Cristiani ( World Salon Tango Champion 2013) and Ayse Gencalp
