2025 Spring Dance New England Boston WeekendMarch 14th - 15st, 2025
Tango Fusion
An inquiry into dance, connection, and fusion drawing inspiration from the Argentine Tango. We will playfully explore fusion of the movement patterns each individual brings with them into a dance and emerge in co-created improvisation. This class includes an introduction to basic elements of Tango, conversations about fusion, a deconstruction of traditional roles of lead-and-follow, and the playful meeting with oneself, dance, partners, and music.
