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.
This pop-up class offers a smooth awakening of the body (ideal for after the end-of-the-year break!); we will work on a few Tango-focused balance exercises and axis recovery as well as role variations and possibilities. At the end of the session, we will touch base on a few adornments for both leaders and followers.
Date 28th Jan 2023
Time: 4.00 to 6.00 pm
Location: South Yarra Community Baptist Church, 12 Surrey rd, South Yarra
Topics: Individual movement, both roles techniques, and embellishments
