PROGRAM Saturday, September 28, 2019 12:00 - 1:20 pm: Las Caderas This is a lead/follow technique class in which we build our tactile sensitivity and precision in communicating and moving together. We will focus on the embrace and leading and following from the hips, this time with an emphasis on rotations. With these techniques one can find superhuman strength! *All-levels 1:30 - 2:50 pm: Suspension Bring conversation and expression into the dance by incorporating quality of movement. Here we will explore classic and modern suspended milonguero movements to invigorate our musicality with intensity. *INT-PDA (pretty damn advanced) Beginners beware! 3:00 - 4:20 pm: Sacada! 2.0 By popular demand… Sacadas are some of the most widely-used steps in Tango Salon and are essential in building a wider vocabulary. We will explore how to construct different sacada sequences, including consecutive sacadas in the giro from close contact by sliding and rolling. *INT+ Sunday, September 29, 2019 1:30-2:50 pm (instead of 2:00 - 3:20 pm) MicroTango Building upon our overall theme of receptivity in the connection, this class focuses on creative improvisation, phraseology, and space management. We will use the confines of the musical phrase of tango, vals, or milonga to provoke creative outcomes while adhering to the space constraints of a crowded milonga. *All-levels 3:00 - 4:20 pm (instead of 3:30 - 4:50 pm) Colgadas The long-lost art of colgadas… The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a colgada is a good guy with a colgada. Proper handling, stance, and safety for colgadas. *Challenging 4:30 - 5:50 pm (instead of 5:00 - 6:20 pm) Milonga & Cousins We will review the fundamental qualities of Milonga and make a comparative analysis with Tango and Vals. To better understand how each genre changes the structure, flow, and cadence of the dance, we will take particular figures and show how they might be danced differently in each case. *All-levels Registration and info:>>[email protected]
