Argentine Tango Workshops in London

Marcela and Stefano return to the foundations of traditional Tango, exploring connection, posture, walking, musicality and the dialogue within the embrace. The class is about refining the fundamentals and understanding how simplicity, intention and elegance can bring greater depth and character to the dance.

A workshop about transforming technique into freedom: listening, responding and creating in the moment. Martín and Ayelén explore awareness, adaptability and choice within the dance, helping dancers discover new possibilities within familiar movements and develop a more personal approach to improvisation.

A workshop exploring how to create clear, fluid circular movement while maintaining balance, connection and freedom within the embrace. Sandra and Ricardo work with the dynamics of the giro to develop greater control, musicality and possibilities for the social pista.

An exploration of the natural momentum of vals, using rhythm, direction and continuity to create movement that feels fluid, connected and effortless. The class focuses on developing greater freedom and musical expression within the characteristic flow of vals.

An exploration of different boleo and gancho variations through technique, timing, axis and connection. The emphasis is on understanding how these movements arise naturally from the dance so leaders and followers can create and adapt them with greater confidence, control and musicality.

A workshop exploring the mechanics of barridas, weight transfer and subtle changes of axis. The focus is on creating these movements naturally through connection rather than force, developing precision, freedom and creativity while keeping the dialogue of the embrace at the centre.

A class exploring the traditional flavour of milonga through timing, weight changes, dynamic walking and compact movement. The workshop focuses on a grounded, rhythmic and playful quality, showing how simplicity and clarity can create strong character and expression.

Scheduling note: Runs at the same time as the Musicality Seminar in the adjacent room.

A workshop exploring how to hear and interpret the structure of vals through timing, dynamics, phrasing and movement choices. Marcela and Stefano focus on developing greater sensitivity to the music while keeping the dance fluid, grounded and connected.

A workshop inspired by the distinctive giro associated with historic milonguero Carlos Moyano, known for the elegance and complexity of his giros and enrosques within the Villa Urquiza tradition. Martín and Ayelén explore the structure, changes of direction and coordination involved, bringing together technique, history and the movement vocabulary passed down through generations of Buenos Aires Tango.

Sandra and Ricardo explore the technique behind planeos, lápices and enrosques, with attention to axis, dissociation and control. The workshop looks at how the free leg can trace and circle in response to the rotation of the body, developing elegance and precision within circular movement.
