Recognising and dancing recurring patterns beyond the single bar.
Tango music is not organised bar by bar only. Beyond the single bar, patterns recur in larger arcs — and if you recognise this periodicity, you can anticipate what is coming instead of only reacting.
The workshop is devoted to these larger structures and how to dance them. It builds on the previous units and prepares the work on the individual orchestras.
What you take home
An eye for the larger shape of a piece — and with it the chance to shape your dance over its whole length rather than bar by bar.
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.
