The ocho spiral elucidated - Argentine tango workshop with Miriam Gita

Ochos can go in any direction at any time and once you understand this principle and how to achieve it technically, then you can naviaged your ochos into shapes - including the spiral - that improve your floor craft and your ability to express the music. Ochos are an important fundamental move in tango and, like any other move, they can be adapted to suit the mood you want to respond to the music with. On top of navigational aspects of ochos, Miriam will give you her favourite decorations for both leaders and followers as well as focusing your awareness on the lead and follow first and foremost and then the music and only after that give attention to styling. You will also be given you strengthening exercises designed to get the style principles assimilated into your muscle memory and make you look more like a tango dancer by enhancing your posture, balance and flexibility. No need to bring a partner. This is an open-level workshop, all welcome! Sunday 22nd Febuary 2026 12-2pm, £10 Colchester city centre, parking available. Text Miriam on 07706746750 to book your place.
