(7:15-8:30pm) WS1: CIRCULARITY IN SIMPLE MOVEMENTS
You like how we dance but can’t exactly say why? One of the answers to that question is in this lesson. Here we’ll teach you how to smooth out the edges on your everyday tango elements and make them soft and round.

This sacada is the missing piece of the puzzle! Here we’ll show you one of the more unusual sacadas and we’ll explain why it’s different than the others. We’ll demonstrate how to use it in a circular or a linear fashion.

(2:15-3:30pm) WS5: MILONGUERO VARIATIONS
In this lesson we’ll teach you 2 fun step combinations in close embrace, perfect for interpreting the more rhythmic and/or energetic part of the song (e.g. a variation). Both combinations can be easily adapted to any amount of space which makes them great for (crowded) milongas.
