I need a Giro! - Argentine Tango MasterClass, Southampton

Who's the REAL Hero - the Guy Fawkes lookalike threatening to bring the house down, or the Tango Dancers carrying on calmly in the background...? ;) The next in our series of Standalone Saturday Afternoon Argentine Tango MasterClasses* in Southampton - designed to put you in high demand as a Social Dancer at ANY event that you attend - ISN'T about HEROES, it's all about revisiting your GIROS and turning them into the basis of some Extra-Special moments of Tango-Togetherness... :) See you There! - Basil and Mandy x For how to BOOK, see very end of Event Description... ______________________________________ *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 Tango 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, are aimed at anyone with at least a little Tango under their belt already (Complete Beginners/Improvers please also ask about our range of classes just for YOU! - See: https://www.facebook.com/events/259196948345786/ ) and are intended to dramatically improve both your understanding of Fundamentals AND the quality of your Social Dancing. Also Highly Recommended as a ‘Health Check for your Dance’ for ALL experienced Tango Dancers (expect full personal feedback in every class), but please book early to avoid disappointment - Class size is limited and prior booking is essential! 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: MARCH 23rd - Fusion Frenzy - Does what it says on the Tin - come and learn the secrets of Blues/Tango Fusion Dancing! :) - This Workshop is open to Blues Dancers that aren't afraid to Mix It Up and/or anyone with some Tango experience and an Open Mind! https://www.facebook.com/events/234586364129719/ April 6th - Speaking my Language - Honing the Secrets of Communication and Connection - essential Tango Skills to set your Social Dancing Apart! - https://www.facebook.com/events/1975693632468198/ April 20th - 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 - Holiday Saturday MAYhem - 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 - I need a Giro! - This isn't about HEROES, it's all about revisiting your GIROS and turning them into the basis of some Extra-Special moments of Tango-Togetherness... :) https://www.facebook.com/events/338624083663825/ For LEADERS: If you’ve been seeing Tango as a dance that’s HARD to learn as a Leader, struggle to remember ‘moves’ you’ve been shown or how to lead them, and see an extra weight of responsibility on the Leader, then maybe it’s time to take a NEW approach… With a change of focus, Tango becomes a natural expression of joy in movement and more about SHARED experiences and responsibilities – NOT a difficult task to master alone!! For FOLLOWERS: If you’re used to lessons that seem to be mainly for the Leaders, ‘Ladies/Followers Workshops' that are far more about Styling than Conversation, or are currently feeling that your choice of ROLE is denying you a FULL VOICE in the dance, then you’re going to LOVE these classes! We’ll be helping you to return to natural movement that really brings out your innate spontaneity and ability to improvise and contribute alongside the Leader. For BOTH Roles: What you SHOULD expect from each of these MasterClasses: - A fresh approach to Fundamentals with Key Topics revisited - All material presented directly linked to improving Social Dancing - Small Class Size with full Tuition for Leaders AND Followers - Direct and Personal Feedback on all aspects of your Dance What NOT to expect: - Complex Figures to Memorise - Choreography / ‘Show Moves’ - Tuition/Feedback aimed primarily/only at Leaders Arrive at 14.00 for a 14.15 start – there’ll be 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. TANGO – Don’t just Learn it – DANCE IT!!! Just look at what the DANCERS have been saying about our previous Workshops: 'These workshops are simply the best, I learn so much each time, thank you' 'We both feel our Tango has improved enormously since we started dancing with you' 'An excellent workshop from Basil & Mandy in Southampton' 'The first class was cracking!
