Calo: The Tango Orchestra Series, Sunday, October 26th
Calo on Sunday, October 26th: Leaders, ever get on the dance floor and about half way feel like you’re repeating moves or running out of things to do? 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!

Fresedo: The Tango Orchestra Series, Sunday, September 28th
Fresedo on Sunday, September 28th: Do you ever look at those couples doing almost nothing, yet they hold your attention with just an embrace, a pause, a change of weight? That’s Fresedo! If you want to develop your skills in the deceptively simple, this is the class for you! We'll be looking at the everyday movements of the milonga ….but with quality and dynamics that will set you apart. Let’s look deeper into the elegance of the walk, ways to find beauty and connection in the embrace, dynamics with your changes of direction, and ways to navigate the floor with style. Whether it’s an elegant ballroom dressed to the nines, to a walk in the park with a bagel and coffee, the feeling is the same ….Fresedo is all about HOW you do it. We’re channeling calm, elegant movements to find the comfort and ease with Fresedo, and we’re going to find out just how pleasurable walking can be! Join us!
