the top milongueros of the new generation in Argentina. The tango that Maxi
transmits is based upon
communication between dancers in a continuously close respectful navigation on
the dance floor. Consequently, his
based on posture, leading & following, & musicality as a creativity. He
focuses on improvisation as key to develop a
fun & enjoyable for the couple, while still comfortably limited space. Maxi

INTERMEDIATE-ADVANCED. IMPROVISATION:
For the social tango dancer,
improvisation is both a need to navigate
as well an element of creativity. In
this lesson we will practice
several ideas that will act as
improvisation boosters, consequently
making us find new and personal
steps.
4:30 - 6:00
MUSICALITY: RHYTHM, PAUSE, AND
PHRASE.
This lesson is an introduction to
advanced musicality in the language
of the Buenos Aires milonga. We will
base our work in rhythm and the
way it lives in the dancer's body,
pause as a necessary, but not
necessarily explicit, element of the
musical representation, and
phrase, as a vehicle of connection
with the melody.
Sunday November 8th
3:00 - 4:30
INTERMEDIATE – ADVANCED. UNUSUAL
OCHOS. We have been struggling
with/enjoying ochos since our first
days of tango! Now did we exhaust the
possibilities of this trademark
of tango? In this lesson we will take
ochos a step ahead by
combining, twisting, repeating or
isolating them.
4:30 - 6:00
MILONGA DANCE AND ITS RHYTHMIC
PATTERNS. In this lesson we will
learn about the different approaches

dance floor-effective rhythmic
patterns. The concepts of traspie,
lisa and combinada will be put
into the context of the search of the
social dancer.
One workshop $35. Two workshops in the same day/couples $60
