Small, Simple, Beautiful: Daniela & Luis' Seminar - Newport News

"SMALL, SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL" 10-HOUR INTENSIVE SEMINAR FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2-4 An immersive tango learning experience is uncommon. Typical workshops in festivals, and in events with visiting teachers, rarely offer the diligent learner a transformative understanding of her/his body dynamics and immense potential of creativity in the dance. Here is something quite different! 10 hours of progressive classes. Lots of individual attention. Fixing of old problems. Working on new solutions. If you seriously want to examine and grow your dance technique these workshops are for you! In this seminar, Daniela and Luis will guide students in an exploration of tango in close embrace, with special emphasis on small spaces. Using their mastery in transmitting the subtleties of biomechanics with vivid imagery and details and their deep understanding of musicality, they will guide students at every level to polish and improve their technique and expression. Friday 7-9 Fundamental Techniques for Close Embrace (2 hours) In this workshop, we will explore critical aspects for dancing comfortably in close embrace: posture, balance, dissociation, walking and pivoting techniques will come together to enable us to dance with ease. Saturday 2-6:30 (4 hours) Classic Tango Embrace In this workshop, we will look at classic tools for creating a compact and musical dance, appropriate for the most crowded dance floors: classic turns, tricks for "recycling" space, traditional musicality, asymmetric play between leader and follower, achieving grounded movement and the milonguero "feel". Sunday 2-6:30 Modern Close Embrace In this workshop, we will explore how the advances in the last 20 years have influenced the close-embrace tango that is danced today in Buenos Aires. We will explore the use of elasticity in the embrace, single-axis turns, and small off-axis movements to generate effortless, subtle dynamics, and create small moments that take our breath away.
