W19: The Embrace & Sacadas [Lvl 3-4]

At a certain stage of your development in tango, there comes the realisation that the embrace itself is the key to almost all advanced aspects of the tango to come. This allows you to re-evaluate your previous knowledge and take a quantum leap in your development. During this workshop, Donato and Lucia will offer you some secrets of the abrazo and apply it to many things, including sacadas.

Level requirement: You are an experienced social dancer. You feel entirely comfortable with the basics and are working on intermediate tango elements and some more advanced stuff, in both open and close embrace. It is quite natural for you to adapt your style of dancing to different orchestras. You have been dancing tango regularly, by which we mean at least 2-3 times a week, for at least 2 to 3 years or longer.
