Saturday 18th May Tango E14 is proud to present NEW guest teacher Manu Sanz a special weekend in collaboration with Queer Tango London (QTL) with another event with Manu on Friday evening by QTL at Bishopsgate Institute.
Manu is from Spain and a daughter of a flamenco teacher, despite this she did not connect with dance until tango came into her life. She currently shares, through dynamics and games, what for her is the soul of tango, that is, listening and connecting. She is co-organizer of the international meeting of Chamuyoqueer in Valencia, a space where the artistic goes hand in hand with the political. She is currently working organising milongas, workshops and queer tango practices, as well as the future publication of a fanzine and a podcast on queer tango.
Class on Playing with intentions and energies of proposal and listening
This class will be a great opportunity to learn and experience intercambio or change of roles. It is a great way to experience and learn how to dance the other role. This will not only give you more insights and empathy for the ‘other side’ but also encourage you to be more creative and playful with your tango and also to be more confident! In Manu’s own words:
a workshop to play with the energies that tango provide us. From the way we hug, the way we dance the silence, the way we make the proposes. Let’s mix everything to dance not a new tango but a tango where we listen to each other and play creatively with the music…
