2024-10-24 19:30 - 21:30 | La Pista, 3450 3rd St, Building 5, San Francisco, CA, 94124, United States
In this workshop, we will be refining our listening sensitivity so we can explore opportunities in real time to hear and express ourselves, creating a dance that is an exchange of keen, clear musical intricacies.
This workshop is for improving dancers who are seeking a deeper understanding of the foundational technique of both roles. Folks starting out on their tango journey will get to experience the elements of movement communication that are essential to this dance.
💗Class is designed for dancers who are improving their tango experience at any level.
💛 No partner needed.
🌈All gender identities and expressions are welcome.
💞 role switching is encouraged – we express what role we are curious to explore for each exercise + honor a learner’s choice to dance one or both roles.

9:30 – 10:00pm – more práctica and empanadas!
ACTIVE FOLLOWING: from “just following” to dancing
This class is for you if you are a mainly trained FOLLOWER who wants to INVESTIGATE and TRAIN:
. How to move from reacting or repeating sequences to interpreting the lead and actually dancing it
. How to be responsible for your own body and choose what kind of movement you want to do and with what part of your body you want to show it
. The differences between changing the proposal and interpreting it (yes, we don’t need to change it to be active followers!)
. How to suggest new ideas and spice up your dance if you want to (yes, we don’t need to change the proposal but we can!)
This class is ALSO! for you if you are a mainly trained LEADER who wants to UNDERSTAND better and TRAIN:
. How does the follower receive the lead and how do they process the response and interpret it?
. What would they need from me to make the movement that I’m inviting them to do easier?
. The nuances of listening to the follower’s response so that we can use that as the motor for our next lead and therefore we can really improvise together!
. What to do when things don’t turn out as expected (because of all reasons, even a follower’s proposal!)
$35 for 1 workshop

In 2011, she moved to the Bay Area and began teaching tango with various partners at la Pista SF, Studio 1924, and Alma del Tango Studio.
