Class Descriptions:

Tango Intangibles with Daniel Trenner - The great Milongueros of Tango's revival taught us that feeling matters most. In these classes Daniel will teach the intangible skills that create the "dance" of tango behind the "steps". The focus will be on Musicality, Embrace, and Dialogue; refinement and subtlety; connection and support; collaboration and conversation. Open to students of all levels, with or without a partner.  

Homer + Cristina class descriptions:
Friday:
The Body Spiral with late Di Sarli...Sacadas or Wraps (Advanced - couples only)
This very advanced class will begin with an exploration of the overturned back ocho for leaders and followers and culminate in an investigation of sacadas vs wraps.  We will also explore the nature of the 4th or cuatro sacada.

Saturday:
Milonga Fundamentals with Canaro and D'Arienzo (all-level)
In this all level milonga class we will explore basic rhythm, grounding, phrasing, and introduce syncopation.

Cristina's Favorite Moves with Rodriguez (mostly Intermediate)
This mostly intermediate level class will connect the idea of lift and compression with musical phrasing ideas.  We will use touch steps, refined pitter-patter (including the type-writer & bandoneon), and rhythmic volcadas to explore the main theme.

Sunday:
Flow and Freeze with Pugliese (all-level)
This all-level musicality class will develop and refine the elements of embrace, body, floor, and music.

Step-Over Colgadas with Podesta - Exploring Function and Style (Advanced - couples only)
 In this advanced class we will break down the anatomy of several kinds of step-over colgadas while reinforcing their basic principles (including posture, embrace, entering and exiting).  We may  indulge  in colgadas from basic, multiple, back, and butterfly.  Of  primary importance will be the understanding and manipulation of style vs function.
