Weekend Workshop with Cecilia Gonzalez

FRIDAY 7:00-8:15 The Power of the Embrace: Presence, Listening, and Sensitivity The embrace is more than a frame — it’s a space of trust and subtle dialogue. This class focuses on listening through touch, pausing meaningfully, and creating a grounded, intimate connection. 8:30-11:00 Opening Milonga DJ Larisa $15 SATURDAY 1:00-2:15 Redefining the Roles: Exploring Communication Between Both Roles Through guided exercises, we’ll dive into the communication between initiator and receiver. Develop awareness, responsiveness, and a more equal, dynamic conversation within the dance. 2:30-3:45 Turns and Walks: Mastering Flow and Precision A deep dive into two foundational elements of tango: the walk and the turn. We’ll explore technique, rhythm, and transitions, aiming for fluid movement and shared musicality. Grand Milonga 8:00-12:00 pm Guest DJ Lucia Petkovic $20 SUNDAY 1:00-2:15 Revisiting the Cross: Detail, Intention, and Variation The cross is one of the most iconic moments in tango — but it’s not just a single step. It’s a family of possibilities. In this class, we’ll explore different types of crosses and how both initiator and receiver contribute to their creation. We’ll work on timing, structure, and using the cross as a dynamic tool for improvisation. 2:30-3:45 Linear Boleos: Pendulum Motion and Contraposition This class focuses on linear boleos through pendulum dynamics, body opposition, and the expressive motion of the free leg. Learn how to generate and receive boleos with clarity, fluidity, and deep connection.
