02/09 At the heart of tango is these moments of suspension, or sheer beauty in stillness, when connection is at its highest.

£12.0010/02/2021 Interpreting SLOW tangos, secrets and technique, Part I, 90 min.
Most are surprised, when they start tango, how slow some tango songs can get. These moments of stillness, of change of pace, and intricate game between melody and counterpoints are places of sheer beauty, calling the dancers to reveal themselves in the tiniest, or slowest, of movement. It feels at first that dancing on a slow song would be easier, but it is soon evident that they require even more control, and communication in the couple. Come and embrace these fabulous songs, and learn how to improve your technique to share a great experience with your partner. This is part I of II, both part best enjoyed together but can be taken independently.
