Calo Class + Practica Tinta Roja
*Please note, there is no Practica on Monday, September 7th due to Labor Day. We resume class on Monday, September 21st with a study of Calo. We will be using Calo to study the idea of dancing the melodic and lyrical melody of the music (as opposed to staying in the rhythmic base). We will study how to identify the difference between the melodic melody, lyrical melody and the rhythmic melody, and how to dance the melody r in various repertoire. As with all the orchestra studies, there will be some historical context of the Orchestra, individual musicality work, as well as some social sequences introduced to study quality of movement and give you practical tools to use in the Milonga.

Followers, ever feel like you’re on a hamster wheel and want more clarity, confidence and power in your artistic expression? Allow Miguel Calo and his orchestra to guide you! This month we’re studying the story arch of a tango song- how we create a clear beginning, middle and end to our dance experience. We’ll examine the components of a tango song, look deeper at the layers of the orchestra, and help take the stress out of composing a social dance. Experience the magic, drama, sensationalism, effects and special moments of Calo! It’s ALL there for us with this orchestra, big time!
