April 10 - New York - classes at Empire Dance
• Caminar - walking in an embrace (7 - 8.30 pm)
For us, Tango is walking in an embrace and communication with a
partner. All complex movements derive from it, this is why we focus on
the „Caminar“ in all it’s variations. We’ll explore the posture, the
embrace and elegant walking in both parallel and crossed system. We
assure you, that even very experienced dancers will discover new
possibilities of improvisation and expression.
• Milonga lisa y con Traspié: Rhythm is it! (8.30 - 10 pm)
We do conceive Milonga as a dance very much on its own, requiring and
facilitating specific body mechanics and small-scale dynamics. You
don’t need complex steps to improvise the music adequately - the
connection to the music is what makes a good Milonga! We’ll explore
rhythmic variations of walking, the Traspies and combine the basic
elements in order to interpret the music freely.

Pivots & turns without memorized patterns ( April 11, 7 - 8.30 pm)
We’ll concentrate on the technique of dancing and leading pivots and
ochos. The focus will be on bodywork and elegance as well as on organic
movement. We want to enable you to develop all kind of complex
movements - even giros - without learning any patterns or steps. Four
us, the moulinette is only one possibility to turn.
Vals - Rhythmical variations in the music (April 11, 8.30 - 10 pm)
Exploring the rhythmical possibilities in Vals and integrating them in
variations of the walk and several known movements. This may sound
simple, but is it not: there are certain rhythmical variations which
are forgotton most of the time and dancing them requires the
proficiency to really lead and follow in order to „time“ your
movements. This class is exclusively for experienced dancers.
Variations of the cross (April 12, 7 - 8.30 pm)
The cross of the woman is a very interesting and elegant element, if it
is not danced automatically. We examine the technique of leading &
dancing the cross properly, develop surprising solutions and explore
all kinds of new crosses.
Tango - musical dimensions and expression (April 12, 8.30 - 10 pm)
The music makes us move. She does not only transmit a certain rhythm
and velocity, but also emotion and expression. Each Tango is a
masterpiece, which may be interpreted in a unique kind of way. We do
not teach different steps to different orchestras - we examine the
dimensions of music and dance. The aim is to distinguish different
styles of music and adapt each movement to the new requirements. This
class is exclusively for experienced dancers.
