The Syracuse Tango Community is proud to announce tango weekend with Agustina & Claudio in Syracuse, NY. We invite all visitors to come and meet or friendly dancers.
Due to popular demand, Claudio and Agustina from Buenos Aires, Argentina, excellent dancers and instructors with strong technique, are back for Tango workshops, performances and privates. Workshops are on 7th and 8th of February. They will be available for privates on 9th of February. Agustina and Claudio are masters of the Argentine Tango. Trained by the best in their native Buenos Aires, they now spend their time giving tango exhibitions and leading classes around the world. Their specialty is the intimate and sensitive salon style Tango. Claudio and Agustina will offer instruction in the variety of Tango closest to their hearts. They will teach not just steps, but posture, balance, footwork, leading, and following. They will focus on communication between partners and coordination with the music. These classes will enhance the repertoire and understanding of any tangueros. Claudio and Agustina will also show men how to provide their partners the room and opportunity to adorn the dance, and women how to take advantage of those openings to display their grace and elegance. We will be having 2 hours session only followers and 2 hours session only for leaders. You will learn many details of leading and following in this class which you can not notice during regular classes. Saturday classes will focus on intermediate-advances level dancers. Agustina and Claudio will also offer private lessons during the weekend.

Friday class: * For followers: Many Tango classes tend to be "step oriented" meaning that the technical aspect of the follower is often neglected. In order to follow well and to be in perfect harmony with her partner, a good follower needs impeccable balance and posture. Agustina will be working with the followers to improve balance and posture and to refine turns, ochos, boleos and ganchos. This is a great opportunity for the women in our tango community to experience the best in technical expertise.

In this session, he will explain how to communicate with your partner, having solid balance, remembering the posture with several exercises which you can try on your own.
