Blue Moon Ballroom

The 3 Cs of Tango

Colgadas, Cadenas, Calesitas

​

We will teach you step-by-step the structure and concepts of each of these classy techniques. We will first explore the basic of each, and then progress to more challenges.

 

12:00pm

Colgadas

Colgada means "to hang" and involves the leader and follower leaning away from a shared axis, resulting in a circular in place movement

​

1:15pm

Cadenas

Cadena means "chain", and is a link between the leader and follower creating an "in tandem" circular traveling sequence

 

2:30pm

Calesitas

Calesita means "carousel". Typically the follower is being led in a circular movement around the leader with a circular in place sequence

​

Each is a beautiful experience with melodic phrases in Tango as well as with the floating moments in TangoVals.

​

4:00pm

Potluck

Bring your favorite dish or beverage to share. Vegetarian cuisine will be included.
