THE WORKSHOP
Argentine Tango is an improvisational dance in which the man initially leads and the woman follows, eventually becoming a subtle game of leading and following. The classes are based on the notion that tango is an improvisational dance as well as an interpretation of the music.
We work with two levels: Beginners (people without any tango dance experience) and Advanced. The principle of leading and following will be visible in all exercises, emphasizing balance, walking and eventually, dancing. We intend to enable beginners to visit a tango dance salon after the week of concentrated tango dancing.
The advanced class takes this guiding theme of dancing in a salon a step further : improvising with you partner within the musical boundaries, making fast steps and slow steps. Different kinds of music will be studied in relation to dancing: d'Arienzo, de Angelis, Pugliese and Piazzolla, each require a different approach on the dance floor.
Dancers will occasionally change partners in order to become more aware of leading and following. Of course, we won't forget the milonga and the tango-vals as well as the instruction of some more complex figures and patterns.
Daily classes will take place in the afternoon and at night we all join the tango salon in the beautiful, intimate dancehall of L'Huys Préau. In the morning there are different activities such as a tango lecture and a special workshop for attitude (close embrace). During the day private classes and unlimited practicing is possible. The final Friday night we organise a dance party with performances and surprises.
