Syncopation: the accent between the beats — the foundation of the second weekend.
Syncopation moves the stress away from the expected beat and creates exactly the tension that drives tango music. In the sound of the orchestras it is everywhere; in the dance it often goes unused.
This workshop opens the second weekend and lays the ground for everything that follows: hearing syncopations reliably, preparing them in the body and dancing them at the right moment — without losing the basic pulse.
What you take home
A secure feeling for the accent between the beats and the ability to use it on purpose instead of hitting it by chance.
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.
