Monday Practice with Franz Alvaro Bravo DJ Mario Garufa

Every Monday is a special day and this Monday will certainly not be an exception! 🎉 Tango, among many other things, is a living folklore – from Argentina, of neighbourhoods, of generations, of individuals with unique & shared ideas in relation to the music and the culture. We will continue our tango journey with ✶𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘇 𝗔𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗼 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗼✶ maestro of Tango de Salon, more specifically of 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗼 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗨𝗿𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘇𝗮 ('Villa Urquiza style’). The term has been used to identify the traditional style from the tango-scented neighbourhood of the same name, in the 40s and 50s — often characterised by ▪️ elegant, smooth and precise walks ▪️ use of both closed and open embrace in perfect connection ▪️ movements that sensitively reflect the phrasing of the music ▪️ code of good manners on the dance floors. A significant part of the music we listen & dance to, today, is from the same era in which this style emerged and flourished. Let us explore the contemporary creativity of the Golden Age together, starting with 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘳: 𝗢𝗖𝗛𝗢 dynamics and variations.
