Tango technique in relation to musical depth. (for 1 participant)
Friday, April 24
18:00 - 19:15
Level: any
(Let's explore how tango technique helps you not just "step to the rhythm," but also feel the different layers of music and express them through movement.
We'll discuss how simple technical elements (step, turn, pause) can sound different depending on the musical mood. Let's explore where in tango there's room for accents, where for softness, and where for surprise. We'll try it out in practice: how to change the dynamics, vary the amplitude, and find new nuances in familiar steps.)

Saturday, April 25

Let's talk about how to find nuances and contrasts in music: where to add softness and where to add sharpness, when to linger and when to speed up.)

Sunday, April 26
17:30 - 18:45
Level: Intermediate / Advanced

We'll pay special attention to dynamics and speed—we'll learn how to not just "spin," but lead and follow in hiro through the energy of the embrace. We'll practice synchronizing our legs so that every step is in harmony with our partner and the music.)

Giro. A game with various dynamics, acceleration, and deceleration. (for 1 participant)
Friday, April 24
14:30 - 15:45
Level: Intermediate / Advanced
(We'll explore how to make turns not only correctly, but also in different ways: speeding up in some places, slowing down in others, and suddenly changing the pace in others. Sometimes you want to walk in a circle slowly, feeling every step, and sometimes you want to spin faster, adding a bit of drive and surprise. At the workshop, we'll try out different variations and see how these small nuances can change the mood of the entire dance.)
