Beginner Bootcamp - February 13 & 27, 2016
|
MAGIC TANGO Beginner Bootcamp - Part 1-2-3 (6 hours of Intensive workshops) February 13 & 27, 2016 (Saturdays) Instructor: Tatiana Balashova In collaboration with BC DANCE STUDIO (Downtown Vancouver) Get a taste of the beautiful Argentine Tango, be inspired and start learning the FUNDAMENTALS of tango leading or following. This bootcamp is good both for beginners and those who want to brush up basic Argentine Tango dancing skills and get lots of tips for improving your dance.. Free water and light refreshments are provided. Notes: Usually I teach Bootcamps for Beginners 4-5 times a year, the bootcamps never repeat each other in the same way, they all are slightly different and I have about 3 versions of various vocabulary patterns. So if you take them in different time of the year you will learn more patterns. Basic vocabulary includes salida, basic turns, ocho cortado, salida with a cross, molinete, sandwich, paradas, and a few other movement combinations depending on the students and level of the group. The material is saturated with concepts and exercises which help to get a good jump start for beginner tango dancers as well as to polish tango skills of those who are already dancing tango. he bootcamp is slightly adjusted to the experience of the majority of the students. Attention to everyone is guaranteed! By the end of the Part 3 bootcamp students will be able to connect the tango patterns into a simple and elegant dance and feel the pleasure of moving counterclockwise in a continuous motion, combining linear movements with circular. Bonuses: Magic Tango Bootcamp students get a link to the special playlists with selected tango music & tango demos by world-renowned instructors.
