Workshop 1 – Open Level Workshop

Theme: Active Follower, Sensitive Leader

Tango is built on subtle communication and active collaboration between partners. In this class, we will explore what it means to be an active follower who fully inhabits and contributes to their own movement, as well as what it means to be a leader who truly listens and responds to their partner.

We will also explore the idea of the “magical lead” — a lead that creates movement through communication and intention rather than force or physical manipulation.

Level: Open Level
Time: 7.30pm – 9.00pm
Location: Milonga Maitrī, 10 Herbal Hill, EC1R 5EG

Workshop 2 – Advanced Level Workshop

Theme: A Connected Open Embrace as a Flexible Frame

Dancing in an open embrace allows us to create spectacular dynamics and larger movements, but it can sometimes feel less connected than dancing in close embrace.

In this class, we will explore how to create a flexible frame through the arms while maintaining a strong sense of connection with our partner. We will focus particularly on techniques for leading and following pivots, changes of dynamics and elastic movements with greater clarity, comfort and connection.

Level: Advanced Level
Time: 6.45pm – 8.15pm
Location: Milonga Maitrī, 10 Herbal Hill, EC1R 5EG

Workshop 3 – Open Level Workshop

Theme: It’s All in the Head

This workshop will enhance your body awareness and bring greater comfort to your posture and embrace by taking a closer look at the position of the head for each role in different situations.

Through subtle somatic exercises applied directly to tango movements, we will explore how a more conscious use of the head can create a posture that is not only more comfortable and functional, but also more natural and aesthetically.

Level: Open Level
Time: 6.00pm – 7.30pm
Location: Claremont Project, N1 9PD
