Tango principles using Spirals, Contact Impro & Tai Chi elements

“Tango principles using Spirals, Contact Impro & Tai Chi elements” July 5, Berlin Workshop & Jammix Through the sensorial use of spirals, we will discover the underlying flow of energy in a Tango dance. We will then apply this figure to discover endless possibilities of tango figures and steps. We will use Tai Chi in duo elements to develop our ground force and sensoriality. Some Contact Impro elements will allow us at the end, to play around physically, breaking and coming back to structure.
