Holiday Saturday Dance MAY-hem (BLUES Tango Fusion!) Southampton

On the Saturday afternoon of the early May Bank Holiday Weekend, IDW bring you the next in a series of Standalone MasterClasses* in Southampton ... But why 'Dance MAY-hem'??? Well for this May Holiday Special, we're running a BLUES / TANGO Fusion MasterClass - It's open to Tango dancers of course, but also to Blues/Expressive Dancers that want to learn how to put some Argentine Tango Technique and iconic movements (Ganchos, Wraps, Sacadas...) into their Freestyle Dancing... :) And if you book for THIS MasterClass, you can come along to a Tango FUN-damentals primer at the same venue at 12.45 to help you get started or get a refresher with Tango entirely FREE!! (see: https://www.facebook.com/events/1244565219000932/ ) For how to BOOK, see end - and we'll see you there! - Mandy and Basil x P.S. - Just look at what the DANCERS have ALREADY been saying about our Classes in Southampton: 'These workshops are simply the best, I learn so much each time, thank you' 'Fantastic Class - Thank you!' 'You Rock' 'Amazing Afternoon!' 'Brilliant Fun, always learn something new' 'Excellent - would love more!' 'I would most definitely recommend a visit... Two Great Teachers and very friendly' 'Very straight forward and accessible teaching - good, frequent and useful feedback throughout' 'An excellent workshop from Basil & Mandy in Southampton' 'The first class was cracking! I feel those three hours have greatly improved my confidence and fluidity. Thank you Basil and Amanda' 'We do so love your workshops' 'Great fun, and leaves you with a feeling of achievement. What's not to love?' 'Highly recommend this. The last one was great' 'It's amazing how good it feels to dance now, thank you both' 'I learnt so much and came away with homework too!' 'Fab Class today' 'They are really excellent' 'What you offer is unique, don't change it!' 'They are superb and should not be missed' ______________________________________ *Each afternoon is effectively a COMPLETELY STANDALONE Workshop/MasterClass (so just come to the dates that suit you!) and consists of a pair of Linked Classes focussing on developing more advanced concepts based on a clearer understanding of the fundamentals and designed to encourage a much higher degree of two-way communication between Leaders and Followers, so that BOTH roles develop the confidence to FULLY contribute to the Dance! They are compatible with any other classes currently/previously attended, some (like THIS one!) are for ALL Dance Styles, while others are aimed at anyone with at least a little Tango under their belt already (Tango Complete Beginners/Improvers please also ask about our range of classes just for YOU! - See: https://www.facebook.com/events/448623702547457/ ) Also Highly Recommended as a ‘Health Check for your Dance’ for ALL experienced Dancers (expect full personal feedback in every class), but please book early to avoid disappointment - Class size is limited and prior booking is essential! Arrive at 14.00 for a 14.15 start (if also attending the 'Total Tango FUN-damentals Lesson first, you need to arrive by 12.45) – the MasterClass consists of two Linked Classes with a refreshment break in between and a short period of informal Social Dancing at the end. Please note that we rotate all partners in these Saturday Afternoon MasterClasses (and rotate in with the classes ourselves to assist with your learning), but you need to BOOK as a Leader/Follower Pair. Our Teachers for this Series - Mandy and Basil - have almost 50 years of full time professional teaching experience between them and are the most experienced and versatile teaching couple offering lessons in this area. They specialise in Argentine Tango, Traditional Blues and Tango/Blues Fusion and have gained a formidable reputation for delivering Classes, Workshops and Private Lessons that do exactly what they say on the tin. They strongly believe that a Conversation based on clear Communication and Equality of Roles lies at the heart and soul of ALL Partner Dancing. Remaining Dates in the current Series of MasterClasses are: April 20th (Southampton) - Easter Saturday Special ('Height of Perfection') - We'll be looking at how both Leaders AND Followers can use subtle height changes at critical points in their Tango to increase connection, communicate additional information AND suggest changes to the Dance... Raising your Tango to the Height of Perfection! https://www.facebook.com/events/1254828391354936/ May 4th (Southampton) - Holiday Dance MAY-hem (BLUES / TANGO Fusion) - We're handing it over to YOU, the Dancers, to suggest the Topic(s) that you want covered to really help to put you in high demand as a Social Dancer at ANY event that you attend!! But Shout Quickly - we'll be working on those ideas and putting together this Special Workshop VERY soon.... :) https://www.facebook.com/events/249279949359587/ May 18th (PORTSMOUTH) - So far the MasterClasses have all been in Southampton, but now there's a One-Off Opportunity for Tango Dancers in PORTSMOUTH to take a fresh look at YOUR Dance too! You've already got the *moves*, now it's time to polish your *connection*, musicality and solo/partner *technique* to really get the best out of the time you've put into learning Tango! https://www.facebook.com/events/391202015055253/ _____________________ To book for any of the Series 3 MasterClasses in Southampton (£30/leader-follower pair) using BACS, please use your own name as reference, and make payable to: Amanda Fyles Acc.
