About this Event
Molinete and its mantra-like repetitiveness create a basic structure for the Tango language and all tango steps. You may hear it being called the code of walking or the code of Tango.
You want to be sure you know and understand the difference between open and cross step, and you can recite in your sleep the mantra of back - forward - side - back - side - forward - side, from any starting point forward and backward.
Weight change plus 3 directions on each leg plus 2 pivots on each leg are the basic structural element of Tango and the absolute necessity for improvisation. This series will help you out with controlling the precise direction and distance/length of the steps as well as the amount of pivot.
Deciphering connections, making lead, and follow more clear and precise that’s our goals for this series.
You will learn:
*Open step versus cross step.
*Difference in leading weight change and side-step.
*Consequences of replacing weight change with the side-step.
*Leading continuous side step – is it possible?
*Isolating lead from Leader’s step.
*Forward-Side-Back – Tango mantra.
*Adding pivot to each direction – possibilities.
*Mixing directions in any possible configuration as an intro to improvisation.
