Rooted, Free, Expressive: The Art of the Follower Workshops with Rocio Lequio

After last year’s inspiring women’s tango weekend, we’re excited to invite you to a new chapter — this time with the extraordinary Rocío Lequio from Buenos Aires. ✨ About Rocío Rocío is a renowned tango dancer and teacher, celebrated for her elegance, precision, and deep musicality. With years of international teaching and performing, she brings not only solid technique but also a profound sense of artistry and individuality to her students. Her teaching empowers followers to feel both grounded and free, blending discipline with creativity. Would you like to see one of my favorite videos of her performing with Bruno Tombari?

Strength in Motion Alignment, inner awareness, safe and powerful walking, weight transfer, tone, and tension. Body training for a strong and fluid dance. B. Breaking the Mold Revisiting ochos, boleos, crosses, and turns — learning to move beyond automatic execution into fresh expression. C. Dancing with Your Own Voice Exploring independence of movement, creative use of adornments, and how to colour your dance with intuition and personal style. ✨ Schedule 🗓️ Friday, Oct 17 19:00 - 20:15 WS1: Strength in motion 20:30 - 22:00 Apéro time 👯‍♀️🎆✨ A moment to exchange ideas, share experiences, and celebrate the spirit of connection and support within the tango community, with a special emphasis on the strength and voices of women in tango.
