Entering the world of Argentine Tango goes far beyond sliding your feet across the dance floor carrying the music with every step and embracing your partner with every move. Although this is essential in the tango culture there is much more to discover.

Tango was born amidst encounters of different cultures, dance steps of various rhythms, musical sounds from three continents and people moving across rivers and seas to reach the port of Buenos Aires. The orchestras were born there, in the midst of this sprouting of new neighbourhoods, of musicians who brought their instruments in their suitcases, of Creoles who brought their own and of African slaves who never lost the sound of their drums and carried in their bodies the dances of their ancestors.

Mina and Giraldo present Encuentros D’ Tango, a special Autumn Seminar to learn more about the history of Tango, its dance, music and cultural tradition. Tuesdays in Corrientes at Tufnell Park from 8-9pm (+ 30min practice, also 7-8pm foundations technique is free for those taking the 2nd class ) and Thursdays in Corrientes Orpington from 8 pm.

Programme:

Wk 1/. Tango Vals I Pedro Mario Maffia, one of Tango’s greatest bandoneonists from La Guardia Vieja who gave us early valses (1931) providing us with the perfect music landscape to understand the simplicity of movement that flows in the 3/4 rhythm with subtle melodies and clear tempos. In this first part of the seminar we will revisit gliding, pausing, syncopating in the Tango Vals criollo.

Wk 2/. TangoVals II Francisco Canaro (1941) the evolution of vals in Tango took over two decades and at the pick of Tango’s golden era the music sounded larger, sophisticated, elaborated in complex arrangements. For the dancing crowd that meant more attention to accents and suspensions during the execution of steps in the 3/4 format. In this second part of the seminar we will propose expansive circular patterns vs short quick time steps.

For Weeks 3-7 our Tango history will journey from Firpo, Julio D’Caro to Lucio Demare bringing back the steps that created signature moves for Tango and Milonga that still live today in our contemporary dance halls in Buenos Aires. Full programme to be announced in the November newsletter. For more information and bookings https://corrientessocialclub.co.uk/product/tango-tufnell-park/
