Taboe2Be Weekend Seminar: from Craft to Art

THE SEMINAR To be free within the tango embrace requires more than a free spirit. It also needs a solid technical base and a deep understanding of how our bodies move and respond to each other and the music. This ‘how’ enables the ‘what’, so we can express ourselves better. This weekend we put more emphasis on both side of the dance: how we can cleanse and beautify our technical foundation, to move more effectively, effortlessly and attuned. Using this base to discover further the free and joyful dancer in us. We have an extensive program with about 9-10 hours of lessons with different flavors. We offer grounding body awareness exercises to prepare ourselves to tango. We are going to fine-tune our technique 'tool-kit' with topics as posture, walking techniques, transitions, spirals and decorations and explore their effect in several tango figures. We make sure you have enough time to apply everything you learned and just dance! Prepare yourself for a rich learning experience with a lot of personal guidance as this time we work with a smaller group. We are of course adding our special Taboe ingredients to it with a lot of warmth, joy and laughter! Last but not least: Paras will play her famously inspiring music mix of traditional and contemporary tangos, spiced up with a few ethnic, classic and other special tracks. THE PROGRAM The times are a bit flexible as we are all staying so one lesson can be a bit longer or another shorter.
