Weekend Workshops - Advanced/Medium

Venue: Ross Street Community Centre

Time: 3pm - 4:30pm

DateTheme
Saturday 9th December 2006, 3pm - 4:30pm, £5(£4) Very Advanced, super challenging "Try This" for Fluidity: continuous, smooth and flowing movement in tango.

Why so cheap?
I don't really consider squeezing my brain for lots of cool, short and fluid sequences to be teaching. It is more like a lot of fun.

Why just 1.5 hours?
Going at a rate of, I hope, 1 sequence-ette every 2 minutes can only be done for so long. We will also take a 10 minute break in the middle.

Why sequence-ettes?
How else to teach fluidity? I can think of a few other ways, which I plan to think about some more next year, but lots of fluid sequence-ettes (kata) is certainly one way to do it, and it is also a whole lot of fun.

The movement elements we will use:
steps, pivots, X-es, ochos, giro, barridas, sacadas, ganchos, boleos, paradas, alterations.
Optionally: we might add in some little hangings (colgadas) depending upon the class and how it goes.
Just about every sort of embrace will be used, such as close, medium, open, parallel and offset.

You've said we will use "paradas" which usually means stopping?
Yes, but you can do paradas without completely stopping and still maintain fluidity.

Please attend the workshops with a dance partner. If you want to attend this class then please ask someone. If you have trouble finding a dance partner for this class then use the E-Group. We will change dance partners, as usual, during the class. Note: requests for workshop themes will be listened to, email: info at camtango.com

These workshops are designed for dancers who have at least done course 2 (Intermediate), and are comfortable with the content of this course.
