"El tango está entre paso y paso, allí donde se escuchan los silencios y cantan las musas."
- Carlos Gavito

The essence of Tango is in the embrace and the walk. And walking is not just transferring your weight, or getting from A to B. It is feeling your partners weight, shaping movement together, breathing together and pausing together. It is gliding across the floor, elegantly, or marking the beat, playfully. It is cadencia and phrasing. It is quality of movement. It is all of this and more. It is the first thing you learn, but it takes a lifetime to master, and it can be more enjoyable than all the combinations and tricks you can think of.

Join us for an 8-week seminar devoted to the art of walking in Argentine Tango. We will work on many different elements of walking: posture, the embrace, feeling your partners weight and axis, cadencia and phrasing the walk with the music, different techniques for different ways of walking, and putting all of it together in nice walking patterns you can use on the dance floor. You will learn how to change the dynamics of your walk, slow and soft, quick and sharp, powerful and heavy, and how to incorporate different embellishments to go along with the different expressions in the walk. The more you practice walking, the more you will enjoy it, and the more other people will enjoy walking with you.

Level: All levels

The art of Walking is something you can always improve, and there is always something to learn. This class is designed to work in depth with technique, musicality and interpretation, so that each student can take what they want or need based on their own level. Because there won't be any change of partners during the class, it is easy to accommodate for couples of different levels. As such, it will be suitable for advanced students, as well as more novice dancers. However we do not recommend this class for absolute beginners - please check out our beginner class instead.
