Milonga con traspie, marcacion para hombres y adornos para mujeres with Gabriela Elias (@Escuela Argentina de Tango)
– very traditional class in a style: watch and repeat. Not too many technical comments, little interaction of the teacher with the students. Nevertheless, it was useful thanks to the steps used during it – useful for practice and for the further teaching purposes.

Tango class with Oscar Casas (@El Beso)
–another good class, even though there were 40 students alltogether! We worked on the concept of sacadas with turns, then we combined this with one enganchada and added a barrida. Very useful, detailed explanations of the technique of the movement, also a lot of attention was paid to the elegance and not compromising the posture while executing movements like barrida.

In the evening we saw a magical movie – The Fall by Tarsem Singh… It left us speechless because of its incredible plasticity, attention to detail, breathtaking pictures and impressive imagination of the director.
