Technique Tango Class "Live" via Zoom

Technique class is an highly effective way to learn, improve, and practice your fundamental tango movements, while dancing in the comfort of your own home or studio. These sessions are suitable for ALL levels and for both leaders and followers. Although the these classes will be accessed via Zoom, they will be given live by me in real time. No partner is necessary, but working with a partner or in small groups during the classes can be beneficial but not required.

The classes will focus on the techniques involved to correctly perform certain movements such as the enrosques, barridas, boleos, etc. For each class, I create different combinations to practice your coordination, choreography, memory and fitness all at the same time! It may be quite physically and mentally challenging at first, but over time the movements and patterns will become easier to perform. Just stick with it for several sessions!

We also work on tango rhythm patterns, balance, and understanding the terminology used to describe specific tango steps and structure.

I guarantee that you will have a lot of fun, while simultaneously learning and getting a great work out !

I have really enjoyed taking Giselle’s online tango technique class on a weekly basis for the past 18 months. At first, I struggled to perform the movements and maintain my balance; but after several months of consistent regular attendance, I realized that everything was becoming less difficult and more enjoyable- yet always an exciting challenge.

Moving myself alone - without a lead and the assistance of a partner has benefited me greatly. I am now much more aware of my role and responsibilities as a follower. In addition, I gained a clear understanding of many terms, concepts and types of movements ( e.g., enrosques, flameo, agujita, etc.). The main structure of tango ( the “code of walking”) as well as the various rhythms and timings ( 1-3-1/12-1/1-41) are becoming more naturally incorporated into my movements.

Besides these benefits, the exercise is wonderful and the classes are much more fun than a gym aerobics class, as the music is fabulous! When I miss a class I truly feel disappointed - that usually does not happen with many other activities. I highly recommend taking these fun and informative technique classes on a regular weekly basis.

Set-Up

-I kindly request all participants to put their cameras "on" so that I can see you and help you to correct your movements.

- Please avoid having lights on behind you which impairs my viewing.

-It is helpful to have a bar-height chair available for use for support during the boleo and turn exercises.

Dancing in heels for followers would be the best, but if you are not use to that I suggest:

-try part of the class

-use low heels rather than NO heels at all
