Rhythms in tango

Friday 27.12.  🕒 14 – 17

Tango does not have a fixed rhythmic pattern that runs through an entire piece, yet some rhythms are particularly typical for tango. This workshop gives an overview on the most important rhythms, with many musical examples, and we explore the coordination of our movements with them by listening and by moving individually and in couples. In particular, the rhythm of the music is an important element for the connection and the dialogue between dance partners. The follower plays a decisive role which we will work on.

Musicality beyond rhythm

Monday 30.12.  🕒 14 – 17

Apart from rhythms, tango music has many other aspects that can and should inspire the dance, like melody, voices, articulation, colours, dynamics, and phrasing; all these produce the enormous richness in sound and expression that we have in tango. We explore how we can express such aspects in the quality of steps, in micro-timing, pauses, and flow with the longer waves in the music.
