Restart 2024 this Saturday 6th January with getting your tango mojo back with a class on stops or paradas for beginners and for more advanced dancers for paradas with pirouettes and calecitas (carousels). Dance the after party blues away and find your equilibrium with dancing the tango!
For beginners the afternoon will start recapping the basics of tango; embrace, connection, walking in time with the music, ochos and paradas. After that for those who want a challenge we will introduce the idea of paradas and calecitas (carousels) and paradas and pirouettes. or both! A calecita followed by a pirouette. For inspiration please find below the world famous tango Nuevo dancers Mariano ‘Chicho’ Frumboli and Juana Sepulveda who have perfected their pirouettes and paradas to a world famous level.
