Level: Improvers & Intermediates
Course Outline:
Tango's mischievous cousin, milonga is based on tango technique, but its playful rhythm requires a different style of steps and dynamic.
Our course will be divided into 3 parts:
(1) Technique (approx 30 mins)
Individual exercises to warm-up the body & focus on the style, rhythm and attitude of milonga. Ceiling to floor mirrors give you a golden opportunity to correct your positions, whilst we come round to give you an extra helping hand! The exercises will incorporate movements which will be used in the 2nd part of the class ....
(2) Partner Work (approx 1.5 hours)
Working in partners, we will explore different step combinations for milonga music. The focus will be on how to lead/follow variations of the steps, how to use them to play with the music and how to inject personality and attitude into them.
We will conclude this section of the course with a demonstration of the steps learnt with variations for the future!
(3) FREE Practica (approx 30 mins)
If you still have energy - and so many of you always do! - for no extra charge you can stay around for a further 30 minutes to practice your milonga .... and your tango and vals!
PLUS!! COMME IL FAUT MOBILE SHOWROOM!!
From 4 pm to 4:25 pm we will display a wide range of Comme Il Faut shoes. Step off the catwalk and straight onto the dance floor with these luxury tango shoes direct from Buenos Aires!
We also have an introductory collection of cutting edge men's shoes.
As professional tango dancers and personal users of the shoes, we are in the ideal position to advise you on the best pair for you!
See you on Saturday!
