We will have two hours of intensive class! The material will be a special program that contains a revision of some of the most important Argentine Tango choreographic ideas, presented through combined sequences that we consider "interesting."

Why are we considering them "interesting combinations"? For two reasons:
1) These "combinations" are setting specific coordination problems and the solution notably helps to improve general dance control.
2) We truly believe these combinations have, in addition, a particular beauty, sometimes focused on the "shape," sometimes on "dynamics," and sometimes on "structure."

The program will strive for two complete sequences of at least three important ideas each. One of these sequences will be ample and contain big movements and changes in the distance of the embrace. The other one will have smaller movements, less or no change of the embrace's distance, and lots of rhythm which means more socially danceable in a crowded milonga. Both sequences will require coordination, sensitivity, adjustment, etc.

Then, through these sequences, we'll arrive to the detection and isolation of basic problems of the tango dance which are later deeply analyzed and studied. At the same time, the usage we are having of these elements within the sequence becomes an "example" always useful and applicable to other variations.

The class will be very intense, and we'll do our best to help everybody as much as we can. The class won't certainly be for complete beginners, but we don't require a specific level to attend. We love brave dancers who are passionate enough to face the tango in all its magnitude. We firmly believe that these sequences and the approach we are proposing are very effective even for those less experienced, particularly because we stop at every included step, to revise the basic technical foundation.
We sincerely hope everybody will enjoy it as much as we do.
