The intention of this course is to increase the understanding of the mans role in the tango and at the same time also increase the knowledge and performance of many of the usual techniques encountered in the basic and advanced structures of the dance. The language in the course is going to be english unless everyone in the course are fluent in danish. Spanish explenations is also available. Many of the excercises are going to be solo, and then maybe performed with a random partner chosen among the participants of the course. Women wanting to learn the leading part of the dance are also welcome to take part of the class and will be treated equal to the rest of the guys. Unless one is very proficient in the level 1 subjects I'd reccomend trying at least the first module saturday to gain a better understanding of the advanced structures. It could also be an idea to bring pen and paper to take notes to aid your own personal progress later. Voice recording or filming yourselves is allowed during breaks or after the course. Use light shoes on which you can turn with ease. Hope that everyone will enjoy the workshop and benefit from it on the dance floor!! Warm Welcomes to Everyone !!
