Tango Immersion Weekend · monthly intensive

You can join the full weekend or the workshops of your choice (details below).
Tango Immersion is an in-depth program to learn Tango Argentino that shortens the path to improvisation and connection. It takes place on a monthly basis, in an intensive Tango Weekend format, varying the focus and specific topics we cover each time.

This month's edition focuses on techniques of contact and invasion for different levels (basic knowledge is required).

If you’re new, join the Discover Tango Argentino session at 11:30am (Details in our group agenda)

June 20-21: Playing with techniques of contact and invasion

One of the most fascinating moments in a dancer’s development happens when they stop thinking exclusively about their own movement and begin paying attention to how space is shared, negotiated and transformed together.

Suddenly, movements that seemed unrelated reveal a common thread.

A Pasada, a Mordida, a Barrida, a Sacada, a Gancho… On the surface they look completely different tango figures. Underneath, they all explore the same question.

We'll be working on that line this weekend and look forward to exploring with you how to bring these techniques organically into your dance.

As usual, you’re welcome with and without a dance partner, and to learn both roles.

Please note that this Tango Immersion Weekend isn’t suitable for participants with zero experience. If you’re new to tango, join the Discover Tango Argentino session at 11:30.
