Saturday 2/11 - 10:30 am The importance of being width Being width is about filling your body energetically not only to the head, but also to the sides. We are going to experience the difference that this makes in our dance specially in changes of weight and some circular movements. Saturday 2/11 - 1:30 pm Crosses Crosses are one of the most “basic” steps in tango, but one of the hardest to achieve. We are going to work on the necessary torsions of the body for a healthy cross to happen and how to lead them. Sunday 3/11 - 10:30 am Giros (turns) To be able to perform a good Giro, first you must feel the circular energy inside your own body. We’ll think the spine as a spiral that generates this circular energy first inwards, to then express it outwards. This is important for both leader and follower. Then we’ll go over other many important things to consider in order to make a healthy giro, like what to do with your feet, where to get the energy from, how to keep the connection going, and more. Sunday 3/11 - 1:30 pm Milonga! To dance milonga (as a musical genre) is all about being efficient with one's energy. We are going to work on better ways to channel our energy and we’ll also discover different ways of stepping. This will allow us to have different energies in our dance and increase our efficiency. Also, to be able to dance milonga, we need to understand its unique personality. In order to get into the flow of milonga, we need to enter into a special predisposition of our energy and emotions! Each day will start with a coffee at 10 am, and then some time for lunch from 12 to 1:30 pm Cost is 300 Kr per day
