This Saturday 22nd June class with Tony and Anita on Media Luna and Ocho Cortado, these are basic movement combinations that are suitable for beginners and handy for more advanced dancers to refine and sharpen up on in technique.
This Saturday we continue the theme of pivoting and giros (turning) that we started last week. The beginning of the class will be dedicated again to revisiting solid tango foundations such as walking and pivoting technique and disassociation. Then with a partner we revise how to lead ochos and follow them. As well how to dance Media Lunas or half moons or half giros. Finishing off the combination with an echo cortado. If there is still desire to learn more we will show you variations on ocho cortados. Finishing off with learning how to apply the media luna and ocho cortado by changing the order, change the side of the body and timing. It is always important to learn how to improvise and make new combinations and movements your own.
Private tuition available
