They blend the deep roots of tango with a mix of other movement practices like Contact Improvisation, Contemporary Dance, Feldenkrais, Thai Massage, and Aguahara. They’ve shared their work at festivals, congresses, and workshops across Europe and the Americas — always with a focus on joy, connection, and creative exploration. Since 2012, they’ve been developing Tangocontact — a special space where strong technique meets improvisation and creativity, making for a dance experience that’s both deeply grounded and full of new possibilities. 🔸 Friday Workshops 18:45 - 20:15 Creativity in small space for tango Let's open a space for sensitivity and dialogue to connect with the comfort of the embrace. We'll propose how to create movement within the circle that is created within the couple. 20:30 - 22:00 Easy way to back sacadas. We will be able to perform the back sacadas in either role in a smooth, clear way that opens up to musical interpretation. The axis, the center, the spiral, the anticipation, are some of the topics we will work on. 🔸 Saturday Workshops 18:45 - 20:15 Playfull milonga By understanding the musical structure of the milonga, we will be able to play much more with the steps, the space, and our partner. Blocked hug, elastic dynamics, anticipation, blocked cross are some of the concepts we will play with. 20:30 - 22:00 The weigth in both legs in Tango Movements that require both feet on the ground, allowing us to create wave-like dynamics and feel the forces within the body's structure. We'll relate them to musicality, space, and somatics. 🔸 Sunday Workshops 18:00 - 19:30 The art of boleos. There are linear boleos, there are circular boleos, boleos in favor and boleos against the movement. We’ll do some of them, aiming to play with the way we communicate and perform them. This is the spirit of this class. 19:45 - 21:15 Tangocontact A space to expand your dance from the fundamentals of contact improvisation fused with the principles of tango. Delving into spirals, playing with gravity, elastics, and opposing forces. How can we end up on the floor from a tango forward 8? How can a spiral offer momentum and land in the turn? What infinite possibilities do we have when walking? How can we create dynamics in a trio or among 7 people and achieve the sensation of being embraced? A complete space for exploration.
