Argentine Tango Fun(Damentals) For West Coast Swing Dancers

February 26, 2017 New York City - Midtown, [object Object]
Argentine Tango Fun(Damentals) For West Coast Swing Dancers
Feb 26
Argentine Tango
Join Paula and Lukas this Sunday, Feb. 26th from 3 pm - 5 pm and expand your West Coast Swing vocabulary and dance "listening" skills! To register, visit: [hidden] Argentine Tango is arguably one of the most subtle and intricate of the partner dance forms to learn. Ask any Tango enthusiast - Tangueros and Tangueras never stop practicing! Social Argentine Tango requires balance, musicality, weight sharing, and the ability to "hear" your partner in a more immediate way than any other social dance form. All of this is INCREDIBLY useful if you are a West Coast Swing dancer. Rather than just borrowing a few steps or "Swango-ing", this workshop will go deeper. We'll explore the basics of the embrace, weight sharing, balance, walking, and how to "hear" the lead in your center. It's darn good stuff and is totally applicable to West Coast Swing. We'll also explore how to use close embrace mechanics when dancing in closed position in West Coast Swing - opening a ton of new avenues of lead-able, comfy vocabulary. Come dance with us! PRICE IN ADVANCE - $40. ​SAME-DAY PRICE ONLINE - $50. PRICE AT THE DOOR – $50 cash only. (Exact change, please. Thanks!) Visit: [hidden] to register. INSTRUCTORS: Paula Wilson & Lukas Weichert - Paula Wilson began dancing Tango 16 years ago, while a student in the Alvin Ailey School Professional Division. After finishing at Ailey, she continued to dance Tango, eventually moving to Asia, where she taught and performed, then on to Argentina in 2010, where she spent a year performing with a company, then to Europe to dance some more, before returning to the US. While attending DNI, a Tango conservatory in Buenos Aires, she was paired with German/British Tango dancer, Lukas Weichert. Lukas Weichert is originally from Leipzig, Germany, and also spent many years living in England. He began dancing Tango nine years ago, and quickly established himself as a dancer to watch. He has taught and performed in Europe, South America, and the US. An award-winning actor/director, as well as dancer, Lukas recently directed and starred in "Tryst", a romantic comedy feature film with Tango. More Info below.
