Tango Essentials Workshop


El Sentir del Tango

Tango Essentials 1

Date & Time:
Sunday 21st March 2010 (9am - 12:30pm)

About the Workshop:
This Workshop is designed to give you the best start to your tango. Using specific tasks and challenges, we will give you the basic techniques and understandings of the tango connection, and the movements you will need to start dancing The Argentine Tango.

Venue:
Smooth Latin Groove, 474 Ipswich Road, Annerley Brisbane

Only $45 per Person


The Style Milonguero
Milonguero style is also known as Close Embrace Tango. The Tango originated in Argentina. Due to the popularity of the dance, the close embrace style was developed to enable many dancers to move in small spaces. The couple dance in a hug like position and together they feel the music, the connection, the body movement and the movement on the dance floor to create the Tango. The feeling of working together to create is magic.
