Let's get the party started!

– FRIDAY Oct 3rd –

18:15-19:45 · WS1. Balance and Coordination

In Tango Argentino dance, we have to pay attention to many things at the same time.

Some of those are muscular forces, posture, input to and from your partner to move together, circulation on the dance floor, musicality and how you can create or read the spaces in which to dance with your partner.

In this workshop, you'll get exercises to organize these elements in your own body and your dance partner's, and to master them while you connect with each other.

20:00-22:00 · Guided Práctica with input

Take advantage of learning from Alejandro and Kelly with room to practice and enhance your dance!

Prácticas create a space for the exploration of tango, giving us more freedom to look into different aspects of our dance. 

Alejandro and Kelly will suggest concepts and guided exercises you can dive deep into, whether you attend solo or with a dance partner.

Spice up your dance while having fun!

After the Práctica, let's go together to Galeria Ideal Milonga!

Galeria Ideal is just around the corner and their Milonga has been running for 20 years.

Our Workshops and Guided Práctica participants get a discount in their entry fee (10€ instead of 15€).

– SATURDAY Oct 4th –

13:30-15:00 · WS2. Enjoying the Musicality and Flow of Vals

Everyone loves to get onto the dance floor when they hear a Vals tanda!
But did you know that Vals has its own special musicality?

Together we'll learn to identify those differences, and will explore how to express them using simple and fun sequences with our partners.

15:15-16:45 · WS3. Respirando (Breathing) Tango

We like to think of every movement we make while we dance, as an unforgettable part of the Tango that we love!

Therefore we love to geek out every detail that can enhance it, and you'd be surprised by the potential of our breath as we are dancing.

Some topics we'll work on this workshop are:
Coordinating your breath with your dancing and your partner's,
how to positively influence your connection with your breath,
and the best way to manage your breathing to achieve optimal communication in different Tango figures.

17:00-18:30 · WS4. Giros with Sacadas for the Social Dance Floor

Feel comfortable, confident, and connected while improvising Giros with Sacadas.

Unlock the secrets of the Giro de Ocho and learn to enjoy playing with the the unlimited combinations that it offers to us.

BONUS PROGRAM at MILONGA CENTRAL

In cooperation with Sylvia and Bernd, hosts of Milonga Central (ÖTK Bäckerstraße 16, 1010), we added an extra workshop to the program and a dance performance by Ale and Kelly during their milonga!

Entrance to Milonga Central is included on our Tango Weekend Full Pass.
You're welcome to book your ticket with me as well if you aren't taking the Full Pass, or directly with them at the door (15€ / Young 10€).

The workshop must be booked separately from our Full Pass. You can add it in your registration form to save your spot.

19:30-21:00 Bonus Workshop at Milonga Central: Cadenas and the Musicality of Vals

After our afternoon workshop learning the special musicality of Vals, we go for more!

Join this workshop before Milonga Central and learn sequences that help you to better express what you hear when your favorite Vals plays in the Milonga.

Some of these very special structures that Vals music can inspire are known as “cadenas” (chains, given that they're repeated over and over again in a continuous flow).

We will dive deep into the different types of cadenas, and explore how they fit into the Vals music.

21:00-02:00 Milonga Central with Ale & Kelly's dance performance

– SUNDAY Oct 5th –

13:30-15:00 · WS5. Musical Adornos for Milonga, Individual and Together

Find greater connection during your Milonga tandas through synchronized and individual adornos!

In this workshop, we will explore adornos that a couple can communicate and execute together, as well as how to maintain harmony in improvisation during the adornos of each role.

15:15-16:45 · WS6. Circular Movements: Planeos and Calesitas

Learn and refine everyone’s favorite showstopping movement!

One of our favorite things about Planeos and Calesitas is, if they are well done, they can give a wow-factor while taking up very little space in a crowded milonga.

In this workshop, we'll define what's each partner’s role in planeos and calesitas, find musical opportunities and options to easily incorporate them in our dance, enhance our technique, and discover different adornos so that we can create as we go!

17:00-18:30 · WS7. Unleashing your Creativity on the Social Dance Floor

When we have lots of space, and can pick our favourite tunes, we feel like the most creative dancers in the universe!

Sometimes though, milonga nights don’t quite work out that way:
We might have limited space, our favorite partners go out of town, and not every DJ has the same musical taste as we do.

How can we tap into our creativity regardless of external circumstances, and start to see challenges as opportunities, in order to express ourselves in the moment and continue to develop the quality of our dance?

Join this workshop and discover it!

19:00-22:00 · Milonga Itinerante with Ale & Kelly's live music performance

Such a super Tango Weekend of course includes a big party!

Including the luxury of having Alejandro and Kelly performing with live music for us, and Argentinean surprises on the table.
