TRACK 1:
Anatomic positions, dancing Tango with your entire body. Explaining
the milonguero structure of movement for social dancing.

The matrix of today's Tango, the inclusive tango, has been first
developed in the socio-cultural fantasy in the 1940s. Those who truly
managed to grasp and maintain alive the call of Tango were so-called
"Tango Resistance", about 12 couples that were getting together in the
60s and 70s, during the dictatorship era, despite the fact that any
gatherings of over 4 people were strictly prohibited. They were the
ones who have practiced relentlessly and infused creativity into many
combinations and cadences that we use dancing tango and that will be
reviewed during the seminar.

TRACK 2:
The confusions and uncertainty in today's Tango. Tango structure and
transformation, mastering your social dancing.

The social part of Tango makes us think of where we are now, it makes
us take time to respect that, who is dancing in front, on the side, or
behind us, all of that without disrupting the musical interpretation,
the dialog with the partner, and the respect for the others. How do we
manage all that and make it pleasurable at the same time?
