See the event details on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/466533473465003/ TRACK 1: Anatomic positions, dancing Tango with your entire body. Explaining the milonguero structure of movement for social dancing. The matrix of today's Tango, the inclusive tango, has been first developed in the socio-cultural fantasy in the 1940s. Those who truly managed to grasp and maintain alive the call of Tango were so-called "Tango Resistance", about 12 couples that were getting together in the 60s and 70s, during the dictatorship era, despite the fact that any gatherings of over 4 people were strictly prohibited. They were the ones who have practiced relentlessly and infused creativity into many combinations and cadences that we use dancing tango and that will be reviewed during the seminar. TRACK 2: The confusions and uncertainty in today's Tango. Tango structure and transformation, mastering your social dancing. The social part of Tango makes us think of where we are now, it makes us take time to respect that, who is dancing in front, on the side, or behind us, all of that without disrupting the musical interpretation, the dialog with the partner, and the respect for the others. How do we manage all that and make it pleasurable at the same time?
