During the 2hrs workshop you will learn:
Overview:
This workshop will explore innovative tango movements, focusing on back and front volcadas, sacadas, and voleos. We’ll work on combining volcadas with transfers to achieve fluidity and transitions, and introduce volcada with a gancho for an added dynamic. Participants will also practice incorporating voleos and embellishments for both leaders and followers.
Key Elements:
• Back and Front Volcadas: Understanding the mechanics and connection needed for off-balance movements.

• Sacadas: How to synchronize and control leg projections, integrating them with volcadas.

The workshop will culminate in combining all these elements into a fluid sequence, adapting to the musicality of nuevo tango
