Class on voleos part 2

Last week dancers really enjoyed the voleos and as there are many more variations. This presents as an opportunity to explore them , from backward ocho as well as forward ocho from parada, from linear to circular pathways, etc.

The first 45min we will do tango basics and technical exercises and shortly recap ochos and parada for beginners followed in the last 45min with the last part on different types of voleos for more advanced level of dancers.
