08/08 Tango: how to achieve fluidity, 90 min. Fluidity sometimes feels like an impossible aim in tango: these movements of connection when time seems to run slower; these dancers seemingly floating and moving with a cat-like quality. The good news is, there are techniques to achieve these movements and style. Fluidity isn’t necessarily easy to reach but with the right tools, you will be able to! Joining as a couple?

Barridas (sometimes called Arrastres) are the true tango gem: a delicate foot contact - some may call it a gentle foot 'kiss and sweep' - that is without doubt a tango symbol. Learn how to prepare for a stable and safe barrida, how to lead it and respond to the lead, incorporate it in the music, and create your own. This is part I of II, best enjoyed together but can be taken independently.
