Royal Tango

How D!

Sometimes getting a blog post up on time can be a friggin comedy of errors! Oh well. Thank you all for your loving patience!

Today we look at last post’s movement with a partner. We’ll expand on those ideas more in the coming episodes!

Wowzers! Was it interesting to finally get this post up. I’m back from the holidays, and from the Houston Tango Festival.

This is the first in a few week series exploring a simple movement that we use in the dance often unconsciously but can, once polished be one of the most fun movements in our toolbox. We will explore many variations and ideas built on this idea with my buddy, Carmella Hill Burke.

Enjoy and see y’all soon!

This month:

When:

Nuevo Tango Intensive

A handle for the evolution of tango. We will look at the newest ideas of the fundamental approach to the dance, from embrace to vocabulary. Focus is on connection, creativity, musicality and style.

Price:
$20. 1/2 price for full-time students.

Location:
The Reach Center
2540 Harris

A NEW INTENSIVE EACH MONTH:

Saturdays from 1-4 PM

FEB 27 Close Embrace
MAR 20 Music + Musicality

Close Embrace - Looking exclusively at the most addictive expression of the dance, we will dissect, understand and explore the subtleties of the embrace, limits and openings when we choose to dance close.

Music + Musicality - Both a deep look into the music that we dance to as well as well as a series of processes that get us to hear what is happening on the most exquisite levels. Then how to translate that into our personal expression of movement and emotion.
