American, European, and Asian festivals. Turn, turn, turn.
1:45-3:15pm - Back Sacadas for Lead & Follow (Inter.)
Jaimes takes you through the coordination and timing required to
execute these level-indicative movements and prepares you for the
effortless ganchos of the following workshop.
3:30-5pm - Effortless Ganchos (Inter/Adv)
A complete breakdown of how the gancho works, on a purely physical
level. Ganchos are so technically difficult that even seasoned
dancers struggle to apply them musically. Jaimes will teach you how
to dance these beautiful and powerful elements of the dance without
even having to think about it.
SUNDAY, APRIL 6th
3:00-4:30pm - The Walk, Embrace and Forward Ocho (Beg)
Getting connected, walking elegantly and smoothly together, starting
close, opening up, finishing close; the core principles of classic
Salon tango.
4:30-6:00p.m. - Connection vs. Dynamic (Inter/Adv)
Advanced dancers are intermediate dancers who have realized how
important it is to continually improve on the basics. This is one of
Jaimes' most sought after workshops. The ultimate mechanics and nitty-
gritty technical workshop.
6:00-7:30p.m. - Advanced Combinations I (Adv)
Long sequences of difficult steps? That's no way to learn! Or is it?
The combinations Jaimes offers are beautiful, complex, and always
technically useful. Providing a challenge for everyone, this workshop
is guaranteed to be fun, mind-bending, and above all an efficient way
to improve one's dancing at the highest level.
