Do you ever get bored of your own dancing? How can you learn to improvise? Is it possible for followers to improvise in tango? Can you practice something that is supposed to be improvised?

Improvisation is much more than steps and combinations! When we dance Tango, the leader is generally responsible for outlining a structure of movement, while the follower actively takes space, filling the structure and embellishing the movement. We improvise together. But sometimes the leader is so preoccupied with putting steps together, that they forget to leave space for their partner. And sometimes the follower is so preoccupied with following the structure of steps, that they forget to improvise. And very often we get stuck in a rut, repeating old habits, getting bored of ourself. That is what we aim to help you change with these classes.

In this seminar we give you tools to improve your creativity and ability to improvise, whether you are a leader or follower. Leaders will practice creating space, finding new combinations of steps and listening to their partner. Followers will practice taking space, owning their movement and finding space to embellish. You will also work on problem-solving together, creating your own sequences and embellishments.

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

To work on creativity and improvisation, we need a common language and common references. To get the most out of this seminar, you should be familiar with common techniques and steps in Tango, like the different walking systems, ochos, sacadas, paradas and simple turns. If you are unsure if this seminar is right for you, please contact us.
