For the month of APRIL we will work on the following in the Intermediate Class;

"ENROSQUES AND DESENROSQUES ACTIONS IN TANGO"
𝐄𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 (𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬) are fundamental elements within the dynamics of turns in Argentine tango. They are based on torso–hip dissociation, axis control, and precise pivot technique.
𝐄𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞: happens when the dancer turns on their own axis while maintaining the torso oriented in relationship to the partner. The legs accompany the rotation with control and stability. It requires balance, strong center control, and grounded connection to the floor.

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞: (Unwinding action) this is the release of the stored torsion from the enrosque. It allows the dancer to exit the turn smoothly and continue into a new direction or movement. It is essential for maintaining fluidity and musical continuity in turns.


This class is designed for both leaders and followers equally since both Guillermo and Laura will be showing both roles.

If you who wish to refine your technique, expand your creative vocabulary, and deepen the expressive dialogue within the tango embrace, this class is perfect for you.
