Nadim & Rina
Beloved teachers Nadim and Rina from Tango Esencia are returning to Brisbane to build upon the workshops they created for us during the Moonlight Tango Winter Festival 2022 | We are excited to welcome them in Brisbane between February 23rd and 26th, 2023.
Workshop 1
Milonga Lisa & Traspié Combinations
Enjoying different rhythmic combinations, this fun class will kick off a wonderful weekend of dancing! We will work on ideas for lisa and traspie combinations and how to dance this effectively so that you can bring out the cheeky and fun feel of Milonga in your dance.
Workshop 2
Rulos and Enrosque in Giros (Part A)
One of our most popular classes for leaders and followers. Understanding timing and connection in the giros as a partnership and how we can work with our partner. Once we have solidified that, we can enjoy elements such as rulos, enrosque for leaders and giro technique for followers which will enhance the way you connect with your leader.
Workshop 3
Rulos and Enrosque in Giros (Part B)
We continue on our journey with multiple giros with rulos, enrosques for leaders with variations. Followers will enjoy working on embrace and connection with your partner for active following and embellishments for musicality. Leaders will work on the key technique of making the rulos and enrosques smoother in their dance.
Workshop 4
Dynamic Vals
This class will explore the "circular" feel of vals and the cadence through different elements to express the vals. We will work on techniques to bring out different dynamics in the vals so that we can enjoy playing with the 123 in vals. You will walk away feeling confident with different tools to enjoy your vals even more!
Workshop 5
Smooth and Melodic Orchestras (Musicality Part A)
Enjoy working on some ideas for smooth and melodic orchestras. Working on techniques which will improve balance and control in those slower and more romantic movements. Followers will work on articulation of footwork and graceful adornments.
Workshop 6
Rhythmic Orchestras (Musicality Part B)
Some ideas for the flourish at the end of the song. How to explode and enjoy faster and more dynamic movements without losing the connection with your partner. Techniques include how to create different dynamics, managing speed and tighter movements while maintaining your connection with your partner.
Beginners' Lesson
Hooked on Tango Class
Understanding universal fundamentals, some Tango history and fast tracking you to dance one song with a partner in your very first class. This class is all about connection, in yourself, the floor, the music and with your partner and leave you craving for more!
Tango for Parkinson's
Help and Have Fun
We will feature Tango for Parkinson's lessons to help the community and promote the health benefits of dancing.
