Mid December 2016 – End of term review

This week marks the end of our Academic Term focusing on the Tango Dimension Interactions and on Malerba’s orchestra. Time to review what you’ve learned!

In class, you’ve seen quite a few different concepts around the Tango Dimension Interactions, these steps where the feet or legs have contact: sandwiches, pasadas, paradas, enganches… Click on the links to have access to all the class notes and videos for a quick refresher.

• Sacadas from ochos.
• High sacadas – High sacadas are sacadas with thigh contact.
• Sanguchitos: From the simple sandwich to more complex back cross versions.
• Arrastres: Several versions of the classic foot sweep.
• Pasada & parada: Several versions of these airy steps.
• Combinations: Interactions can be combined so in this class we played with sacadas, sandwiches, pasadas…
• Ganchos and enganches: Simple and creative combinations for the dancefloor.
