Dimension: Speed - Theme: Giros
In this class, we explored giros that work really well on slow music: giros with static axis around the leader. We also threw in a few adornments for the leader, an enrosque and a lapiz for good measure! Time to shine, guys!
Tango culture & history: Experts revealed that tango was actually a key factor of social integration in Argentina during the 19th century. By voicing the concerns and feelings of a population who otherwise had no voice helped to get people talking and expressing themselves.
Dimension: Speed - Theme: Fast giros
In this class, we explored giros that work really well on different types of music, slow or fast. We explored giros to the left and to the right, as well as giros on the beat and on the half beat. Quite a feast!
Dimension: Embrace - Theme: Term review
This class closes the term dedicated to the tango embrace, one of our favourite dimensions. We reviewed some of the steps that we have covered in previous classes: media luna, back sacada, follower's forward walking. Why choose when you can have it all?
Dimension: Embrace - Theme: Asynchronicity I
This class is the first one of a series of two workshops focusing on how to maintain a nice connexion when doing asynchronous steps - that is with the leader and the follower dancing to different time signatures..
