DANCE

Many of us have already had the initial contact with tango through a movie, a TV commercial or a song on the radio, but didn't have the chance to get on the floor and delve deeper into this obscure and beloved form of dance. Friends of Tango presents Taste Of Tango: For the Uninitiated, a workshop geared for those who are curious about tango and those who aspire to better their foundation.

We will start the workshop with ice-breaker games that will introduce you to other tango-curious souls in a relaxed and fun setting. We will also have more experienced students in class to assist you. Second, we will share with you some exercises that will help you find your strength and improve your balance on the dance floor.

This will be followed by introduction to the cruzada, a fundamental footwork for tango. Once mastered, the cruzada can open the door to many elegant movements in tango both for the beginner and the experienced dancers and you can build complex sequences all revolving around this opening movement.

Once you start feeling at home in the cross system, we will build on it surprisingly beautiful combinations, that are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing.

After this workshop, you will understand how the communication between leader and follower works, you will have better balance and you will have the tools to further improve it, and you will be able to dance a simple and elegant tango.

Please wear comfortable clothes so you can freely move your legs and wear shoes that will allow you to pivot on the dance floor.
