Weekend Workshops with Puerta al Tango

5 classes + social milonga (Friday) + Saturday house dance party + Sunday practica

An immersion into Fluid Dynamics exploration through subtle movements. Honing small space skills and unbridling ourselves for more fluid and dynamic connections.

  • How to age safely in tango with natural technique.

  • How to engage dynamically without sweating (too much).

  • How to have fun with less and provide more good experiences for others when dancing milonga, tango and vals

  • Floorcraft skills to make friends and build good community.

  • All-level inclusive ~ I learn more when working with someone new than with someone with experience. I get to hone the nucleotides that are the DNA of natural tango movements, so to speak. This weekend is crafted to enhance everyone’s ability and understanding… with the tide will rise all boats.

Realizer = “follower”

& Inviter = “leader”

We are all equals as dancers… collaborators!
