19:30
Class 1. The different relationships that bodies can adopt depending on the type of giro to execute.
20:45
Class 2. Giros & Creativity, How to break the normal pathron to create your own giros.
21:45 REAL guided practica with Juan and Stefi. This is the time when we practica with all the steps learnt with the maestros and look to consolidate the ideas into our dance. Juan and Stefi will be on hand to help you with any difficulties you are having and introduce wider possibilities that can be developed. This time is rare and valuable. Class teaching can feel dislocated from the actual nature of dance. Not so @ Tango 178. You will take a deeper step with our maestros into their approach to tango.
Please note that there is no availability to the Real Guided Practica with Juan and Stefi without attending classes.
