----------Class Descriptions----------

Friday, January 19

7:00 - 8:30 pm: Spirals in Your Eyes (Technique for Both Roles)

Embark on the basics of tango movement, focusing on spinal twists (disassociation), spiraling from the feet to the eyes for sacadas, giros, and ochos.

Saturday, January 20

1:00 - 2:30 pm: Under Pressure

Learn to connect with your partner through shifts in energy, not just in movement. Master the paradoxical problem of being strong and grounded while remaining light and receptive. Dive into preparatory actions, building on our 'Spirals in Your Eyes'.

Saturday, January 20

2:45 - 4:15 pm: There is No Boleo

These aren't the boleos you're familiar with. Rediscover the basics of boleos but with a twist— learn to incorporate the switch-timing technique used in banderitas. Great for speed, often seen in tango escenario, yet 100% lead and follow. Get ready for some serious fun!

Saturday, January 20

4:30 - 6:00 pm: Sacada! 3.0 “Gancho Edition”

BY POPULAR DEMAND: Sacadas are one of the most widely used steps in Tango Salon and are essential in building a wider vocabulary. In this edition, we will add ganchos within the structure of the giro, breaking down the technique of the lead as well as the follower’s free leg.

Sunday, January 21

2:30 - 4:00 pm: Now Focus on Me

All about creative improvisation and communication with your partner. Elevate common steps with layered details, turning simple moves into something extraordinary. Think of it as a guided tango meditation, opening your mind to new dance possibilities.

Sunday, January 21

4:15 - 5:45 pm: Dancing to Alternative Music

The moment we’ve all been waiting for… practice how to capture the essence of alternative music to maximize the epicness of your experience. Say goodbye to 'milonga mode' and learn the art of pacing your musicality. Get ready for an unforgettable session with my best tunes!

Monday, January 22

7:00 - 8:30 pm: Make the Walk Great Again (Technique Class)

The walk: the quintessential defining movement of Tango. Everything about the dance is contained within, so let’s make it great! Practicing solo as well as in couples, we will drill posture, weight placement, grounding, different pisadas, and musicality.
