The Follower's Tango Lab 2.0: from steps to pivots to giro!

After fully booking our first workshop together, we’re thrilled to continue the journey with a new session together! During this workshop we’ll focus on building a path from basic walking and pivots… all the way to a smooth giro! This workshop offers unique content, so you’re welcome to join this one even if you missed the previous session. You will receive useful information and practise for polishing the pivots to find better balance, organizing the side step for receiving sacadas and expanding the idea of how to manage your free leg during giros. You’ll get to practise in a motivated group and wrap it all together by integrating everything into short choreography and a guided practice at the end of the day. Perfect for dancers looking to deepen their technique and artistry! 📩 Reserve your spot now: https://www.tanssinopettaja.fi/lab/ 📅 Schedule 🔹 11:30–12:40: Steps and pivots as building blocks 🔹 12:40–13:00: Break 🔹 13:00–14:10: Giro and sacada in practise 🔹 14:10–14:20: Break 🔹 14:20–14:45: Practice: Incorporating Giro into Your Dance 🌟 What to Expect - Relaxed and supportive atmosphere - Precise instructions and relevant exercises - Applying everything in practice with individual feedback and guided sequences WHEN: 18th of May from 11:30 to 14:45 WHERE: El Atico Helsinki, Kumpulantie 1, 8th floor LEVEL: Open (not suitable for complete beginners) Language: English / Finnish upon request PRICE: Early bird price until 22nd April: 47 €/person/all lessons Normal price 55 €/person/all lessons 📩 Reserve your spot now: https://www.tanssinopettaja.fi/lab/ Looking forward to seeing you soon! 💃✨ ----- About us: Nadia Tapia is a dancer, a dancer teacher, a certified GYROKINESIS® method trainer, barre trainer, an entrepreneur and a PhD in international law (Univ. of Helsinki 2020).
