Saturday, June 30 at Collis common ground
Workshops and Milonga with Fernanda & Guillermo!
Schedule of events:
11:00
am - 11:15 am Registration
11:15
am - 12:45 pm Compression & Expansion Technique I (All levels welcome)
How
to translate our energy and intention into physical movement- compression + expansion techniques create a clear way to communicate and interpret the lead and makes it much easier to use all of the tango vocabulary.
2:00
pm - 3:30 pm Tango Power and Energy (Advanced beginners to Intermediate level)
This
class will focus on the body mechanics of how we create power to generate movement. We will then look at how we communicate this energy to our partner. We will be using these techniques to build the foundations of a basic tango vocabulary, especially the turn.
4:00
pm - 5:30 pm Compression & Expansion II (Intermediate to advanced level)
Using
compression and expansion to do boleos. Furthermore, we will look at how we communicate energy and intention to our partner via the embrace. Connecting clearly with our partner through the embrace allows us to express our interpretation and connection to the
music.
