Barridas for a busy ronda - Nicolas Godoy and Miriam Gita Argentine tango workshop in Colchester

Barridas are a popular move in Argentine tango but they can take up more space on the dance floor than desirable for good floor craft. At this intensive workshop you will be given various barridas, single, double and multiple, that do not take up any space in the ronda as they can be danced in the space between the couple. These compact barridas are a perfect tool for expressing rhythmic variation in the music and this will open up possibilities for expressing your musicality as well as improve your floor craft. We will have a detailed look at what exactly is the lead for a barrida and what options the follower has. Miriam and Nicolas will also give you their styling tips for both leaders and followers as well as focusing your awareness on the lead and follow first and foremost and then the music and only moving in reference to the music. You will also be given strengthening exercises designed to get technical principles assimilated into your muscle memory and make you look more like a real tango dancer by enhancing your posture, balance and flexibility. No need to bring a partner. This is an open-level workshop, all welcome! Sunday 15th March 2026 12-2pm, £20 Colchester city centre, parking available. Text Miriam on 07706746750 to book your place.
