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.
