Milonguero -The Basics. Milonguero is most closely associated with
"close embrace" style of tango that emphasizes small rhythmic steps
suitable for the crowded dance floor. This is a review course that
will cover the following essential vocabulary and concepts: walking in
parallel and cross systems; la cruzada (the cross); the embrace and
apilado (forward lean); walking ochos; the ocho cortado-both linear
and circular; and the Media Luna turn to the right. Recommended for
beginning dancers, but we will cover a lot of technique so it is also
great for those who have been away for while and want to get back into
the dance.
2:00 to 3:30 pm.
Tango Salon 101. Salon style tango, sometimes categorized with
"nuevo tango," incorporates a dynamic embrace that accommodates both
open and close styles of the dance. It tends to be more athletic with
longer, bigger steps that may incorporate elements such as sacadas,
boleos, and ganchos. This class is for students already familiar with
the basic concepts of Milonguero. We will review the salida basica
(aka 8 count basic); the molinete; over pivoting ochos, both back and
front; close to open transitions; the sacada; and the pasada.
Recommended for advanced beginner and intermediate dancers.
3:45 to 5:00 pm.
Close Embrace Ganchos. For those of you who are ambitious or
simply ready for a challenge, this class you will teach you how to
integrate ganchos into your dance in a way that is fluid, musical and
dynamic. It is recommended for intermediate and advanced dancers.
