Monday (November 17)
Another day busy with classes:
Milonga class with Oscar Casas (@El beso, Riobamba 416, 20 pesos)
– we started with the simple baldosa. The first idea was to learn how to control the speed and timing in the steps, so that we are able to do traspie in any moment. Then we moved on to different crosses in milonga and applying the same concept tried on different versions of traspie. Great class!
Tango intermedio & avanzado with Daniel Tuero & Cecilia Piccinni (@Tango Brujo)
– incredibly well structured class. It started with very simple ideas of overturned ochos and controlling the hip movement for the followers and chest for the leader, with lots of insightful tips. From the overturned position we develeped a cross and then volcada (option 1) or a cross and a gancho (option 2).
Tecnica corporal with Santiago Dorkas & Cecilia Garcia (@Tango Brujo)
–both Cecilia and Santiago are contemporary dancers and they incorporate modern technique to their teaching. The class is about _feeling_ things, developing body awarness, managing the energy of the movement etc. – mentally and emotionally at a very high level and difficult. I took lots of classes with Cecilia last year – her famous Entrenamiento corporal and even though it was connected with the tango technique loosly, it changed my dancing incredibly. Recommended for those who want to make a difference in their dancing and are open-minded.
