Sunday 15/03: GANCHO special! And Los Angelitos milonga with guest TDJ.
✨ What a blast last Sunday at the Women’s Day special! Thank you to the many of you who came to dance with us 💛
We love Ganchos! This Sunday we will be extra playful and will show you exciting ganchos that will put a big smile on your face, guaranteed! We will start with your 2pm beginner / improver lessons (my first Gancho), followed by the 3pm Intermediate & Advanced class looking at beautiful steps and variants of ganchos, some of them a little more challenging, for your greatest pleasure – and immediately usable set for the milonga.
The LOS ANGELITOS milonga will start at 4.30pm with Guest TDJ Rocks who will craft the most danceable tandas from the Golden Age, and his signature fun cortinas too! Last tanda at 7.30PM. Bailamos?
Wait! What are ganchos and why are they special?
Ganchos are one of the most exciting elements in tango because they combine precision, surprise, and playful interaction between partners. A gancho happens when one dancer’s leg hooks around the other’s, at times in a tight space, creating a sharp and elegant movement that appears almost spontaneous. When led and timed well with the music, ganchos feel like a spark in the dance—quick, dramatic, and expressive—adding a moment of intensity and connection that both dancers find thrilling.
