Experimental - Tango & Improvisation

This workshop uses some of the basics of contact improvisation in queer tango pedagogy like body awareness from breathing and alignment, change of weight and axis control from the Small Dance, touch point and fly and movement without roles, always from a milonguero tango perspective, with the goal of deepening in bodies connection, to ease dissociation and increase the pleasure associated to dancing tango argentino.

It is intended for queer tango dancers and also contactango and contact improvisation dancers.
