Dimension: The embrace - Theme: Mixed energy in close embrace
In this class, we focused on how to lead and follow rebounds in close embrace, first on the half beat and then a slow rebound that is very suitable for soft melodic tangos. We also looked at more complex combinations using a rebound and the very useful grounding technique.
It's quite usual for us ladies to close our eyes when dancing. It might sound (and feel) scary at first, but it increases the connexion with our partner and helps establish a better dialogue...
Theme: Tribute to Di Sarli
In this class, we focused on soft 180-degree and 360-degree turns that would fit well Di Sarli's soft music.
Dimension: The embrace - Theme: Flat giros
In this class, we looked at how we can use dissociation to lead the difference between a side step, a forward ocho and a backward ocho. It might sound obvious, but it's not! We then applied this technique to really cool steps such as the flat giro, the change of front and the change of weight.
Dimension: The embrace - Theme: Activating the right size of the embrace
It is very common to focus mainly on the open side of the embrace and completely forget the closed side. Both sides are equally important however and serve a different purpose, carrying different messages In this class, we focused on the closed side of the embrace and a really nice giro to the leader's right side.
