Dimension: Embrace - Theme: Using the right side of the embrace

Not all things are created equal, and the embrace is no different. It's asymmetrical and although we need to keep a balanced energy all throughout the embrace loop, in certain cases, we need to activate only one side of the embrace. In this class, we saw the technique and a couple of steps using the right side of the embrace - a classic corrida and variations of the grapevine.

Dimension: Embrace - Theme: Using hinges to communicate in close embrace

In tango, we use the word dissociation to describe quite a variety of moves, which are meant either to keep the connection between partners or to make the follower step, cross, pivot... In this class, we focused on the subtle differences between each lead by using a few sequences we like.

Dimension: Embrace - Theme: Lifting technique and sacada

We think lifting in the embrace can send versatile signals to create a wide range of movements. In this class, we focused on a little square and parada for the beginners and then a rather original side cross followed by a sacada by the follower. Pure tango salon with a little twist.

Dimension: Embrace - Theme: Grounding technique

In this class, we had a look at how to use what we call the grounding technique to slow down in the walking, create boleos without pivot and a fancy pivot on two feet.

Dimension: Embrace - Theme: Flexible embrace

The embrace is not a fixed position we take and never move from. On the opposite, the embrace is alive - opening, closing, changing shape. In this class, we focused on the americana position - how to get to the americana in as few steps as possible and exciting exits including a beautiful adornment, a change of lane or sacadas.
