The 3-3-2 division: one of the most characteristic patterns of tango music.
Count a bar in eight eighth notes and stress the one, the four and the seven, and you get the 3-3-2 division — a pattern that runs through the whole tango repertoire and gives the dance a forward drive of its own.
The workshop introduces this pattern, practises it and shows how to weave it into the regular steps. Danced all the time it loses its charm — the effect comes from the change.
What you take home
A rhythmic tool you can use right away, which gives your dance a recognisable structure and can be found in many recordings.
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.
