About this Event

Volcadas (off-axis leaning positions) are great for 'Show Performances', but you wouldn't want to use them on a Social Dance Floor, right?? Wrong! - This Special One-Off MasterClass in Portsmouth 'Spills the Secrets' of Social Volcadas by focusing on safe technique and clear communication for both Leaders and Followers so that you can improvise your *own* Volcada variations to use safely in a tight space when social dancing... Find out why SO many Argentine TANGO Dancers all along the South Coast are suddenly raving about IDW's NEW Saturday Afternoon 'Total Tango' Classes and MasterClasses*? (See quotes below!!) So far these new Classes have all been in Southampton, but now there's a One-Off Opportunity for Tango Dancers in PORTSMOUTH to take a fresh look at YOUR Dance too! You've already got the *moves*, now it's time to polish your *connection*, musicality and solo/partner *technique* to really get the best out of the time you've put into learning Tango! LEADERS: Recognise and work in Partnership with those who have moved BEYOND 'passive following'... FOLLOWERS: Gain the confidence and skills to take control of your OWN Dance!! For how to BOOK, see end - and we'll see you there! - Mandy and Basil x P.S. - Just look at what the DANCERS have ALREADY been saying about these Classes in Southampton: 'These workshops are simply the best, I learn so much each time, thank you' 'Fantastic Class - Thank you!' 'You Rock' 'Amazing Afternoon!' 'Brilliant Fun, always learn something new' 'Excellent - would love more!' 'The Best Tango Lesson I've ever been to!' 'I would most definitely recommend a visit... Two Great Teachers and very friendly' 'Very straight forward and accessible teaching - good, frequent and useful feedback throughout' 'We both feel our Tango has improved enormously since we started dancing with you' 'An excellent workshop from Basil & Mandy in Southampton' 'The first class was cracking! I feel those three hours have greatly improved my confidence and fluidity. Thank you Basil and Amanda' 'We do so love your workshops' 'Great fun, and leaves you with a feeling of achievement. What's not to love?' 'Highly recommend this. The last one was great' 'It's amazing how good it feels to dance now, thank you both' 'I learnt so much and came away with homework too!' 'Fab Class today' 'They are really excellent' 'What you offer is unique, don't change it!' 'They are superb and should not be missed' ______________________________________ *Each afternoon is effectively a COMPLETELY STANDALONE Workshop/MasterClass (so just come to the dates that suit you!) and consists of a pair of Linked Classes intended to dramatically improve both your understanding of Fundamentals AND the quality of your Social Dancing. We then develop more advanced material based on a much higher degree of two-way communication between Leaders and Followers, so that BOTH roles develop the confidence to FULLY contribute to the Dance! They are compatible with any other classes currently/previously attended and are aimed at anyone with at least a little Tango already under their belt (Complete Beginners/Improvers or those who want to do a Tango Refresher Class as a confidence booster immediately before the MasterClass, please also ask about our range of classes just for YOU! - See: https://www.facebook.com/events/2285056331734227/ ) Also Highly Recommended as a ‘Health Check for your Dance’ for ALL experienced Tango Dancers (expect full personal feedback in every class), but please BOOK EARLY to avoid disappointment - Class size is limited and prior booking is essential! Arrive at 14.00 for a 14.15 start (if also attending the 'Total Tango FUN-damentals Lesson first, you need to arrive by 12.45) – the MasterClass consists of two Linked Classes with a refreshment break in between and a short period of informal Social Dancing at the end. Please note that we rotate all partners in these Saturday Afternoon MasterClasses (and rotate in with the classes ourselves to assist with your learning), but you need to BOOK as a Leader/Follower Pair. Our Teachers for this Series - Mandy and Basil - have almost 50 years of full time professional teaching experience between them and are the most experienced and versatile teaching couple offering lessons in this area. They specialise in Argentine Tango, Traditional Blues and Tango/Blues Fusion and have gained a formidable reputation for delivering Classes, Workshops and Private Lessons that do exactly what they say on the tin. They strongly believe that a Conversation based on clear Communication and Equality of Roles lies at the heart and soul of ALL Partner Dancing. TANGO – Don’t just Learn it – DANCE IT!!! _____________________ To book for this Tango MasterClass in Portsmouth (£30/leader-follower pair) using BACS, please use your own name as reference, and make payable to: Amanda Fyles Acc.
