Workshop: Tango Nuevo, Sunday 4th March 2012, 3pm - 6pm
Teachers: Ann and David
Introduction
This workshop will introduce you to "Tango Nuevo" style dancing: movements in open embrace, to non-traditional music. We'll teach a number of core steps, focussing on pivots, turns, and wraps, and include movements such as estocadas (lunges), sacadas (displacements) and enganches (wraps), to illustrate this dramatic style of Tango dancing.
We'll also cover general issues relating to dancing in a "Tango Nuevo" style, including musicality (dancing to Neo tango music), floorcraft (etiquette and techniques) and feeling (the "feel" of nuevo tango dancing).
This workshop is suitable for all levels.
