The way in: how tango music breaks down into building blocks you can dance.
Tango music often feels like a continuous stream in which you look for something to hold on to. This workshop breaks it down into manageable rhythmic units — small building blocks you can hear and turn straight into movement.
Joaquín works without sheet music and without technical terms. He plays the examples live on the bandoneon, so you hear what is meant before anyone talks about it. You dance from the very start.
What you take home
An ear for the recurring rhythmic patterns of tango and the confidence to pick them up in your own dancing — whatever figures you know.
About Joaquín Amenábar
Joaquín Amenábar's workshops teach no steps and no figures. He works with listening, movement and intuition, plays his musical examples live on the bandoneon and does without musical jargon. No musical knowledge is needed — the exercises are designed so that everyone can work on them at their own level of dancing. The workshops are taught in German.
