In this new edition of Tango på Adelsö we will focus on :
– The grey areas, the subtleties while traveling within a movement, how to inhabit the steps.
– What’s makes a defined movement: size, speed, and, most importantly, direction.
– The concept of “change of direction,” which is related to the Giro code. We will start with movements you already know, but explore them as changes of direction.
– The connection within the couple. Expressing different qualities of the movements, playing with their musicality.
– Improvisation and creation. Taking a known sequence as a starting point and apply small changes to create new ones.
Like in previous edition of Tango på Adelsö and all our classes in general, the sequences we will work with are tools to learn technical details of the movements, they will contain elements like ochos, change of direction, giros and voleos. We also use them to practice how to maintain the connection and the musicality of each combination.
