Who is this workshop for?

Absolute beginners and improvers

Dancers who want to brush up their basic knowledge of Tango

Perhaps this course is your first encounter with Tango Argentino and you want to dance tango without stress from the very beginning. You want to learn how to move safely on the dance floor, in harmony with your partner.

Maybe you have started dancing tango a while ago, but have stopped dancing out of frustration, because in real life on a busy dance floor you never could dance the things you learned in your dance school.

Or you already  have attended  one or more Tango Argentino classes and visit regularly practicas, milongas and tango balls but the basic elements of Tango don´t work the way they should. Meaning dancing is much harder than you expected it to be. 

Do some of the situations described below sound familiar to you?

• You have already learned by heart a lot of  fancy "figures" but every   time you want to dance them on the dancefloor somebody gets in your way.
• You succeed to dance reasonably good with your regular dance partner but the moment you dance with someone else nothing seems to work out anymore.
• You are asking yourself often whether the music played is Tango, Milonga or Tango Valtz.
• When Milonga or Tango Valtz are played you leave the dance floor because you believe that this is still too difficult for you.
• You are annoyed because your partner never dances what you "lead".
• You are annoyed because your partner only drags you through the ballroom and you don ´t understand what he wants.
• You want to know why some of the "figures" you have learned don´t work out so well.
• You are dancing already quite ok but want to improve your understanding of the music. 

Then our beginners' to improvers' workshop is exactly right for you !

In this workshop we show you

• How you can improve your understanding of the music and how you can play with the rythm
• How you avoid unpleasant collisions with other couples (and what you  to do if it happens)
• How you still can dance on a crowded dancefloor
• How  you can dance Tango Valtz and Milonga 
• How you get a better understanding of the "figures" which still don´t work so well and in consequence how you can dance them right 
• How you can understand different possibilities in the dance and how you can use this knowledge to dance nicely and spontaneously without even thinking of "figures".  
• How you can dance more elegantly
• How  you can improve your understanding for your partner while you dance
• In short how you will have more fun dancing Tango 

A comment about Wolfgang and Annette as teachers: Dear Wolfgang and Annette, thank you for making our tango holiday with you so successful and memorable. We really enjoyed everything about our week spent with you and could only highly recommend you to our friends and colleagues. Although we are clear beginners, your course structure and teaching style has, in one week, given us sufficient skills to improvise with tango and really connected our dancing to the music. It has also equipped us with a basic milonga survival guide, which we had the chance to try out successfully at the milonga in Perugia. When we returned to our weekly ballroom class back in Cambridge we were asked to demonstrate what we had learned and we managed to successfully improvise to a randomly selected piece. Your passion for tango has really given us a great start. Federica and Chris from Cambridge
