Argentina's gift to the world, tango is loved by dancers and audiences for its beauty, passion, drama and excitement. The essence of Argentine tango is life itself, but it especially reflects relationship between a man and a woman.
Learning to dance tango socially is based on simple improvisational movement — it gives you a lot of freedom and teaches respect towards your partner and others on the dance floor.
Offered is a private one-hour workshop (for one or two students), providing the opportunity to meet and learn from two of the world's best professional dancers and highly experienced instructors, Angeles Chanaha and Misha Nadtochi. Together they will give a brief overview of Tango history, music, tango etiquette, describe various types of tango styles danced at social events, then tailor a program to your individual level of expertise. All levels, from complete beginner to advanced, are welcome.
The workshop begins with walking exercises, the best way to get your bearings in the dance. Tango is a dance based on simple walking, so you are encouraged to practice this essential element. Right after you'll practice steps, learn how to turn, how to stop momentarily on the floor, how to navigate a crowded floor, how to interpret various types of tango music, and how to add your own signature to the dance in the form of embellishments.
Once you have achieved a basic competency, you are provided with guidelines for honing your dancing skills with ongoing practice after formal instruction has ended.
