Salidas - entrances in tango
Saturday 29th September 2018, £40 11:00 - 16:30 incl lunch break
Salida means exit and is used in tango to mean the exit from a figure but also the beginning of the dance because the beginning of tango is an exit from everyday life into the world of tango. There are so many different options for salidas and yet most dancers use the same couple of steps every time and miss out on so much potential creativity and individuality in their dance. At this workshop you will discover the huge range of possibilities for salidas and learn how to use many different alternatives to fluidly enter and exit and transition between phrases within your dance. This workshop at our studio in beautiful, rural Norfolk makes a lovely day out with four hours of intensive Argentine tango tuition and a generous break for a sociable, shared, sit-down lunch in the farm house. No need to bring a partner but booking is essential so we can balance numbers. Saturday the 29th of September 11.00am to 4.30pm. Tickets are £40, to book your place please call 07706746750 or email: thejoyoftango@gmail.com
Miriam Gita and Stephen Vince bring you The Joy Of Tango with their unrivalled tuition
|
Miriam Gita and Stephen Vince tango teaching is based on the ergonomics of movement. With years spent studying the inner workings of the body to discover deep down how two people can move as one, harmoniously and with fluidity to create a natural and comfortable tango dance. They also focus on guiding their students to feel their own personal connection with the music and use that inspiration to spontaneously interpret and improvise their movements within their dance.
Both Miriam and Stephen have gained a wide range of experience teaching dance and tango and have developed a unique methodology based on the principle of building up the student's technique in layers and therefore offering a mixed-level learning environment which is challenging to all levels. Muscle memory and awareness of the style and aesthetic of Argentine Tango are reinforced by exercises directed to the How for each type of movement. The Joy of Tango ... is in the music, the atmosphere, one's partner of the moment and finding joy in the smaller things. Argentine Tango is such a special dance in its unique system of 'invisible' lead and follow Its secret may lie in listening ... listening to the music ... listening to one's partner silently |
