Tools for your Tango
Unlock the foundation of your dance by focusing on full-body functionality. In this collection, we strengthen muscles, discuss anatomy and body placement, and enhance coordination and awareness. We use specific exercises that target the feet, legs, arms, pelvis, ribcage, core, breathing, and more. Guided by principles from Pilates, fascia training, stretching, ballet, and yoga, we learn to use our bodies efficiently, beautifully, and healthily. This collection is perfect for dancers who want to move with ease, awareness and joy.
Tango Barre
After learning the basic concepts for the work at the barre, flow through choreographies set to Tango, Vals, and Milonga music by the amazing orchestras Romántica Milonguera, Tango Bardo and Sexteto Cristal. Build grace, musicality, and stamina as you explore sequences designed to strengthen your technique and presence on the dance floor. This collection is ideal for solo dancers and anyone looking to improve the agility and elegance of their footwork and leg movements. If you don’t have a barre, you can use a wall.
