Advanced Fundamentals
Our Monday class at The Garage takes a deep dive into the fundamentals of Tango. We look in detail at the basic skills that make an improvised tango possible. It is suitable for dancers at all levels who already have some familiarity with tango.
We look in practical terms at how the connection works.
We explore how it can be possible for both dancers to be leading and following at the same time.
We look at how we move in relation to the pulse of the music.
How pausing and varying our pace can add to the richness of the dance.
How focussing on the quality of movement can be an antidote to a desire for complexity.
We believe that tango is a journey that doesn’t have an end. It offers an experience we can go on exploring for a lifetime.
This exploration has nothing to do with complex patterns of steps. If anything it is the reverse - a process of simplification, of distilling to a single shining drop the pleasure of an embrace and a shared movement conducted to music in the company of others.
