8:30pm- 9:30pm: Musicality with John Turci-Escobar: Fraseo, the Key to Dancing to the Melody
This class challenges the prevailing dichotomy between dancing to the rhythm and dancing to the melody. Through the concept of fraso-the distinctive ways in which tango musicians phrase melodies-we will discuss what makes tango different from other musical styles. And, inspired by video clips of celebrated tango dancers, and through solo, couple, and group exercises, we will explore how to express fraseo in your dancing.
9:30pm-2:30am - Milonga with DJ Cigdem Tanik
