Schedule of Events:

Day 2- Turns: Gaston Torelli & Gri Montanaro
11:00am- 12:15pm - 4 Structure of the Turn: Understanding it as the base from which all the other elements derive. Dissociation from the correct position of our body.
12:30pm- 1:45pm - 5 Turns Sequences: We will work with different Sequences. Become aware of the structure of the turn in the dance, and how it can help us to correct mistakes and be more creative in our Tango.
2:00pm-3:15pm - 6 Pierna Libre: We will address Boleos, Ganchos, Enrosques and Adornos. We will study them within the turning structure. And we will build them from the projection of our axis and ground pressure.

Day 2- Rhythms & Melody: Ricardo Calvo & Sandra Messina
3:30pm-4:45pm - 4 Milonga with Traspie: The musicality of "the stumble" and its application to figures.
5:00pm- 6:15pm - 5 Milonga Lisa: Feeling overwhelmed by fast milongas? Learn the tools you need to have fun with the fastest milongas.
6:30pm-7:45pm - 6 Vals: Exploring circularity of movement and suspensions. Apply the musicality of the vals in the turns.
7:45pm-8:30pm - Dinner Break
8:30pm-9:30pm - Musicality with John Turci-Escobar: Marcatos and Sincopas
Classes focusses on marcatos and sincopas-the most common rhythmic patterns in tango music and the idiosyncratic ways they were articulated by Golden Age orchestras. Inspired by video clips of celebrated tango dancers, and through solo, couple, and group exercises, we will explore how to bring these patterns to life in your dancing.
