With Corina de la Rosa
A whole weekend working in technique, however for those who work with her before you do not need further info, as she always is refreshing her approach and bring new exercises to share her wide knowledge about tango and body movement.
We are thrilled that Corina De la Rosa will visit us, once again. She came three times, and every time were very successful weekend.

Do not miss the chance to learn with her. She is an amazing teacher and dancer, with deep knowledge about tango and body movement from various disciplines. in the last few years, she only tours a couple of week per year outside Buenos Aires.

Corina will teach a progressive series of workshop. This workshops is for dancers who want to reflect and have deeper understanding of what we do, with openness and curiosity.

THEME: Anatomy of conscious movement applied to Tango

Aim to deepening and improving the quality of movement of the dance.

With her new approach ”from the footprint to the walking” taking into account the sole of the foot has a greater density of nerve endings than any other area of the body, offering the same sensory richness as the hands. Corina has develop an approach building the movement of the body from the feet, activating their sensitivity to receive information in the body. It depends on the area of the foot where we give the weight, what movement and direction the spiral will have throughout the body.

With exercises specifically designed for tango and inspired by different techniques and somatic disciplines, we will explore the conscious movement and biomechanics of the body to approach the walk, the embrace, the pivot, the turns, the shifts and the changes of dynamics.

We will explore the language of tango dance from both roles, as well as working on the structure of the dance and the different possibilities.

In some of workshops you will work on your own, other time we will work in pairs to applied them in specific situations and moves in the dance.
Level: intermediate and above, if you only have been dancing for less than 6 month, please check with Fernando before booking

Book alone! No Partner needed
About Corina De la Rosa,

She worked for years with her former partner Julio Balmaceda, plenty of videos in you tube. Which together became worldwide known for their dance and teaching and active developers of tango dance, with unique moves and refined understanding.
Around 2014 they stop working together. Since then she focus in teaching and working in Buenos Aires and only touring a couple of weeks per years.

She is incredible knowledgeable about the body and developed a unique way of teaching a detailed technique to achieve fluidity and harmony in the dance.

She has been teaching for years group classes, and technique classes regularly in Buenos Aires, which are famous and I would be tempting to say that most of the dancers and teachers who you see around at some point took lesson with her.

For years she is one of the teachers I trained with when I go to Argentina, influencing the way I dance. ( Fernando)

_____________________________


Moving through the space

In this workshops, she will focus on the score of our specific language as a tango dancer, to help you find your essence and personality with natural movements. We will try to discover together the flavour of the movement more than the step skill, The temporality, the sound, the volume, and everything that returns from the hug with another.

Some of the aspect that it would cover

• From the study of mobility to form and from form to mobility
• Autonomy of the process of being .
• Study of walking as displacement
• Tango dance as an invention of movement in a couple, ourself and the encounter with another body.
• The spiral as the beginning of the free movement.
• Linear and circular displacements.

Elements and moves of the language of tango from the perspective of moving through the space and connection
• Walk
• Pivot as link between directions
• Change of directions
• Giros structures and dynamics
• Spiral movement and figures.
• Music, rhythm, and melody.
• Embrace flexibility.
