SATURDAY 15 th November @Studio Touch
11:00-12:30 Workshop 1: “Embrace & Connection – Building Presence in the Dance”
The embrace is more than a physical hold—it’s the foundation of communication in tango. We will explore how to create an embrace that is adaptable, comfortable, and responsive,
allowing for a deeper connection between partners.
Key Focus: Structure and flexibility in the embrace, leading and following through connection, and mutual responsiveness.
13:30-15:00 Workshop 2: “The Art of Giro – Turns with Sacadas”
Giros (turns) bring circular energy into the dance, and sacadas (displacements) add dynamic contrast. This session will break down technique and timing, helping dancers integrate turns
and sacadas fluidly into their improvisation.
Key Focus: Axis control, precision in displacement, and using momentum effectively in turns.
19.30-22.30 QUEER MILONGA @Bagarmossens Folkets Hus.

13:30-15:00 Workshop 4: "Sequences Outside the Box for Intercambio"
Moving beyond fixed patterns, this session focuses on creative sequences that encourage intercambio—the active exchange of role dynamics between partners. We will explore movement options that challenge conventional structures and enrich the dance.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:
This workshop series invites dancers to explore key elements of Argentine Tango beyond traditional structures, focusing on musicality, connection, movement dynamics, and creative
expression. Through a queer tango approach, we will engage with tango’s rich possibilities while embracing an inclusive and non-hierarchical dance experience.
ABOUT YANA KHALILOVA:
Yana began tango in 2006 at the age of 17 in her hometown of St. Petersburg and immediately fell in love with the dance. She began as a follower, but soon became interested in leading and began learning and dancing both roles.
After studying for several years with various Russian and some well-known Argentinian masters, she started teaching tango in Russia. She was one of the organizors of the first Queer Tango Festival in Russia in 2014.
Yana also started teaching in various European cities (including Barcelona, Paris, Munich, and Berlin) and moved to Berlin in 2018.
Since then, Yana has taught regularly at venues including Mala Junta Berlin. Yana is currently working with Evi Sofra (Berlin) and Natalia Fures (Buenos Aires). Together with Victoria Geier, she organizes the monthly Atípica Queer Milonga Berlin.
Yana places great emphasis on musicality and precise dance technique. Freedom and connection within the couple are equally present in her dance. For Yana, tango dancing means active and
conscious following, as well as sensitive and attentive leading. Communication and interaction as an equal dialogue within the couple are the keys to a harmonious dance experience.
Tango maestr@s who have influenced Yana's dance include Sebastian Arce & Mariana Montes, Mariano "Chicho" Frumboli, Carlitos Espinoza & Noelia Hurtado. In recent years it has been Olga Besio, Milena Plebs, Horacio Godoy & Cecilia Berra, Corina Hererra, Ines Muzzopappa, Jonathan Saavedra & Clarisa Aragon, Fernando Galera, Federico Naveira & Sabrina Masso.
ABOUT NATALIA FURES:
Natalia Fures is a manager, dancer, DJ, and tango teacher with 19 years of experience. Her dancing style was forged mainly in the milonga, which is reflected in her dance through a
strong milonguera essence, blended with a unique sensitivity. Her approach to dance is enriched by her experience as a DJ and musician, with a deep understanding of music from all eras.
As a feminist, she has worked to make visible other ways of experiencing tango. From her role-free classes to her participation in the Tango World Championship in Buenos Aires
alongside her dance partner, she has promoted projects that amplify the voices of women and diversities within the genre.
Her international tours have taken her to showcase her approach outside of Argentina, highlighting her focus on biomechanics applied to tango in her classes.
She has trained with dozens of masters in Buenos Aires and has studied various movement techniques that sherelates to tango.
