Turning Points: The Art of the Giro in All Systems - 8 weeks Interm Course


Details
In tango, the giro is more than a turn - it’s a language of rotation, power, and elegant control. This 8-week Intermediate course is designed to deepen your understanding of giros in both parallel and cross-system, while integrating advanced elements like sacadas, patadas, and varied embrace styles.
Main Focus:
- Isolation and connection - separate the upper and lower body for precise control
- Continuity of torsion and rotation - lead and follow dynamics that flow
- Left and right giro from the back cross - in both parallel and cross-system
- Turning technique - understand system principles and execute effortlessly
Additional Explorations:
- Octagonal, square, and triangular giro structures
- Modern vs. milonguero-style turns – combine the best of both worlds
- Giro with sacada on the open step
- Giro with patada – style meets momentum
- The leader’s axis and its impact on the turn
- Molinete cadencia – rhythm, breath, and grace
If you’ve ever felt dizzy in the giro - or stuck with the same pattern - this is your invitation to master one of tango’s most essential tools and make it your own.
