8-Hour Intensive Seminar in San Diego with Daniela & Luis

"EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE" INTENSIVE SEMINAR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, APRIL 29TH AND 30TH An immersive tango learning experience is uncommon. Typical workshops in festivals, and in events with visiting teachers, rarely offer a diligent learner a transformative understanding of her/his body dynamics and immense potential of creativity in the dance. Here is something quite different! 8 hours of progressive classes. Lots of individual attention (class size limited to 24). Fixing of old problems. Working on new solutions. If you seriously want to examine and grow your dance technique these workshops are for you. This couple is very attentive to detail and no fault goes unexamined. How to stay grounded? How to float? How to dance with fluidity and yet, interrupt and redirect the flow when the music asks for a surprise? We invite everyone to an intensive seminar inspired by the four elements: earth, air, water, fire, where we will explore individual and connection techniques to lend new qualities of movement to our dance. The seminar is progressive and intended to be taken as a whole unit. It will start from basic principles of posture, core, walking and build on this gradually to arrive at a a dance that makes use of the full palette of physical sensations and expressions. SCHEDULE Saturday, April 29th 2-4pm: Earth Learning how to stay grounded and stable throughout the dance. Connecting to the floor and to the partner through the floor. Saturday, April 29th 4:30-6:30pm: Air Learning how to change the density of the walk to create moments of floatingness. Combining this new quality with grounded moments. Sunday, April 30th 12-2pm: Water Learning how to use physical principles to make our movements fluid, both individually and in connection with our partner. Sunday, April 30th 2:30-4:30pm Fire Learning how to interrupt the flow of movement in different ways to create interesting dynamics. Using elasticy, rebounds and oppositions in a gentle way. Sunday, April 30th 4:30-6pm: Guided Practica (for workshop attendees only) Putting in practice the concepts learned during the weekend, integrating them with your very own dance. An extra opportunity to have your questions addressed individually!
