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
will be returning to Tango Esencia from March 6 – 13, 2024.

Please note that while we will do our best to balance numbers in the workshops, we may have to have a waiting list while we work hard to balance numbers so don’t delay your booking!
We recommend that you book with a partner for the workshops to secure your spot if possible. Single dancers will need to book quickly to secure their spots.
Workshops are intermediate to advanced level with the exception of Milonga and Vals WS’s, which are open level.
Private lessons will also be available individually with Maxi and Ayse.

Sunday 29th
4.30 pm:MOTHER TURN
The giro and its possibilities are the basis of all tango steps; all combinations begin there. There are many ways to do it: experience all possibilities, proceeds, follows and resolutions.
we will be working under the Independent Creative Learning* guidelines This style of teaching allows for students to learn at their own pace, generally set out by the fastest learners. In an Open tango workshop like this, the student can learn up to 5 advanced combinations of minimum 4 bars of music each.
Within these combinations the student is exposed to the main components of the dance, eg; Giros*, Boleos*, Planeos*, Cortes*, Corridas* etc, and how all these components are placed following or preceding any given movement.
These combinations are taught with music interpretation and positioning in relation to line of dance* in a Milonga* scenario.
