Tango Technique Workshop

A full, fun afternoon of tango, tango, tango! Technique for beginners and intermediate dancers, both leaders and followers, who want to progress to a higher comfort level in social tango. We cover technique in conjunction with the Big 5 steps you need to attend milongas. You’ll leave with 10 take-home exercises to keep finessing your tango. Instructors Camille Cusumano and Tom Lewis have developed this three-part harmony workshop to help you (1) develop tango body awareness, (2) connect and share energy, and (3) internalize the body mechanics that give tango its tango-ness. $55 includes refreshments, music survey • practica • freebies • Free, signed copy of Tango, an Argentine Love Story by Camille Cusumano. • CD with music from the workshop. • Handout with notes on workshop to help you practice and recall the 12 exercises. • Knowledge and confidence in vocabulary of tango needed to dance in milongas. • Soaring confidence to progress to next level of tango (there’s always a next level!) • Understanding the difference between steps and technique and tango improvisation. • Troubleshooting any of the problems and challenges we all encounter in our dancing. • Tips for maintaining joyful attitude in the (sometimes mean streets of) milonga. • Bonus steps during practica for anyone who demonstrates the readiness & willingness • Invitation to guided field trip to SF milonga – TBD with your input.
