4 Special TANGO Workshops with Ivo Ambrosi

Special secret workshops with a guest teacher Ivo Ambrosi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwA5j8onJS4 Book your place soon! Just look at these topics: 1 - SECRETS OF EMBRACE (Physical and Non-Physical Connection). Like in real life, the best way to stay in a relationship is NOT TO "NEED" ONE ANOTHER, but to look for a pleasure of being together, while maintaining total autonomy. In tango it works the same way, and it makes us free to easily achieve couple dynamics that we thought were "too difficult". Hugging... a lot of hugging, but remaining free within the embrace, enjoying it to the fullest without becoming "slaves" to each other trying to find the balance. We will work individually and in couples, but for this workshop there is no need to bring a partner, and there is no difference if your role is a leader or a follower. The empathy that facilitates the dialogue with the other person’s body does not distinguish between the roles. 2 - SECRETS OF THE RYTHM (Mathematics of Emotions). Step on the off beat, but on a different syncope, and you can change the emotion of the tango you are dancing. 3 - SECRETS OF GIROS AND PIVOT (How to Charge Your Body with Torsion/Use Your Partner’s Weight). The hidden forces in our body that we often do not know we have, and the use of the game of weight by the couple can totally change the way we turn, saving energy, increasing pleasure and enhancing dynamics, making everything easy and natural. 4 - SECRETS OF CROSS SYSTEM (Dissociation vs Association). How to make the communication unequivocal and comfortable when we move from the parallel system to the cruzado system. Communication between the bodies through the torsion study of dynamics that exploit association and dissociation.
