Intermediate/Advanced***SUGGESTED PREREQ***
-Can recognize and clap to the down beat of a tango song
-Can lead/follow ochos and the cross***DESCRIPTION***
Each class will focus on one of the four “elements” or general types of tango songs, exploring the rhythmic structures, movement patterns, and emotions of each type. To really focus our attention on the music:-A single song will be used for each class that exemplifies that element (listed below, so you can do some pre-listening)-One or two rhythmic elements will be featured each class (listed below)-A single intermediate move will be taught, with few to no variations provided (it’s hard to learn moves and focus on the music at the same time!) (listed below)NOTE: As there are 5 weeks this month, and the workshop instructors will be out of town the second Wednesday, that Wednesday will be a one-off taught by another instructor and not part of the 4-week series.***CLASS DESCRIPTIONS***
