November, 2023
Thankful November! For the month of November in the Intermediate+ class, we will work on "Improvisation in Tango Salon: the Dos and Don'ts" For the Month of NOVEMBER Guillermo will focus on understanding improvisation in Tango and what we should and should not do on the social dance floor. When it comes to improvisation in tango salon, there are some general dos and don'ts to keep in mind and Maestro Guillermo Merlo will give us some guidelines to promote a respectful and enjoyable improvisation experience in tango salon Remember that tango is a partner dance, and it requires a strong connection and collaboration between partners. Avoid getting too lost in your own improvisation that you neglect your partner. |

7-8pm Beginner Tango
8-9:00pm Intermediate + For the month of November we will work on "Improvisation in Tango Salon: the Dos and Don'ts" Some of what we will work on: —Musicality: Focusing on expressing and interpreting the music: the rhythm, melody, and dynamics of the music, as it guides your movements and improvisation. Difference in Tango, Vals, Milonga. —Small and precise steps: In tango salon, the emphasis is often on subtle, precise footwork to allow for fluid movement and intricate footwork patterns. We will work on some interesting and elegant steps of the social dance floor. —Adaptability: Be open and adaptable to different partners and dance situations. How will we adjust our dance style, energy, and movements based on your partner's skill level, and the available space on the dance floor. —How to avoid overly complex or flashy movements, especially in crowded dance spaces. How we could keep our movements clean and elegant |
