The focus will be on finding the balance between feeling comfortable on the inside and looking beautiful on the outside.

In this workshop we will go into details of the smooth and elegant walk. We shall discuss forward, backward and side step.

Sunday:

TangoBETTER day 2
Start at 13.00

Workshop 3, topic: Piques and crosses
(open to all)
We will practice their execution, rhythmical variations, different qualities to both tango and vals. There will be plenty of exercises for quickness and precision of the feet movement, useful not only in the embellishments, but in all the elements of our dance.

Workshop 4, topic: Walking and/in the close embrace
(open to all)
Since walking and embracing are the essence of tango, in this lesson we will focus on how to walk elegantly and effortlessly in close embrace. Through different exercises (alone and in couples) we will show you how to make and keep a comfortable and soft close embrace and also work on the technique of walking, both for leaders and followers
