Intermediate level will focus on more movement concepts like boleo, ganchos, barridas… etc. Through these movements, students will be trained with more techniques and more options in the dance to handle dance floor navigation.
Body Technique Class
(recurring classes)
Suitable for students who has finished beginner level or above, both men & women.
Please wear pants and bring a pair of socks, and of course Tango shoes to classes. Floor works and stretching exercises will be included to strengthen your body/leg power.
Different solo exercises will be used to get you (and your body muscle) understand the techniques in tango with details in the movements including walking, ochos, giro, boleo, ganchos, etc. Embellishment will also be introduced to make you look more elegant and stylish in dancing. Beside, secrets of inducing more sensual feelings in the dance will also be shared.
The exercises taught in class can be done at home, it’s a good way to prepare ourselves to be able to do the movement on our own with perfect balance and with ease, so that when we dance with a partner, we can concentrate your attention towards your partners, and so, you can be more sensitive, and at the same time, be naturally elegant!
