Ahh, the Ocho Cortado. Myth has it that it came into existence when a dancer had to suddenly abort a giro. Come learn this iconic and its multiple variants, playing with speed, direction and musicality. This is part II of II, best enjoyed together but can be taken independently.

19/08 The Embrace (Abrazo). They say Tango is nothing more (and nothing less) than an embrace. Could this be the very reason we all dance tango? Note that we’ve put an ‘s’ in Embraces, because the embrace is, as much as steps and combinations, a tool we can use to vary the feelings and interpretation in tango. This is Part I of II, but both can be taken separately.
