20-Hour Seminar in Krakow, Poland - Daniela Pucci & Luis Bianchi

After over 20 successful editions in Buenos Aires, the United States and Europe, we are happy to invite you to our fourth Foundations Immersion Seminar in Krakow! Please join us for 5 days focused on essential aspects of tango: TECHNIQUE * BODY AWARENESS * CONNECTION * MUSICALITY * FLOORCRAFT... ... in other words, a 20-hour immersion seminar focused on foundations, stripping your dance to its essential components and rebuilding it from the inside out! Please note that we will *not* cover fancy steps and sequences in this seminar, but rather focus on building and refining your movement. Our goal is not to add figures but to add comfort, quality and expression, and to unify the knowledge you have accumulated over the years. This year's theme is "CLOSE EMBRACE THEN AND NOW" and we will explore classic and modern techniques for dancing in close embrace. We will start from the foundations of posture, core, dissociation, walking and pivoting, examining critical techniques that create comfort and space in close embrace. With the foundations in place, we will work on classic techniques such as connection from the center, rhythm, the milonguero cadence. We will explore options of vocabulary for close embrace and how to use improvisation to multiply our possibilities. Special emphasis will be placed on breaking the symmetry in the leader's and follower's movements, and how this creates new opportunities for musical interpretation. In the second half of the seminar we will explore advances in technique in the last 20 years, showing how they can be incorporated in close embrace to create a dance that is more dynamic and "twisty". Suspensions, drops and smooth changes of speed will become effortless through proper use of elasticity and weight. Movements apparently requiring superhuman dissociation will become reachable with the right techniques.
