Tango by Leeliana

Waltz. Perfect for dancing or dreaming to. Especially recommended for people who like the violin.

Juan D'Arienzo - 1936 - Lagrimas y Sonrisas

You know this idea of dancing effortlessly... well here's one way to get there. But if you don't happen to have the facilities for that approach available, try tango :) Some of us will be at the Tango Loft milonga tonight, and everybody is welcome to join.

Rhythmic waltz. Castillo is awesome.

Idilio Trunco Castillo Balcarce 0001

This song came up in the random shuffle, today in class. I just had to put it out here because it's so beautiful, despite the recording sounding like it has taken some abuse.

FRANCISCO CANARO - AGUSTIN IRUSTA - PARA TI MADRE - VALS Conmovedor vals... infaltable.

Tomorrow we're starting a new session - everybody is welcome, including of course those who have never danced before. The coming four weeks we'll focusing specifically on the tango embrace: what works and what doesn't, what makes it enjoyable and how not to lose that, and just in general how the tango embrace can really, really work. Join us to find out together :)

Let Tango by Leeliana embrace you! Hello tango dancers! For the next four weeks we will be focusing on aspects of the tango embrace. Argentine tango evolved from a basic need for huma...

Tomorrow is the last of our four weeks focused on musicality. We'll be adding waltzes to the mix (like this one), and learning some musically interesting steps.
This song is one of the slower waltzes, and Juan d'Arienzo has a wonderfully rhythmic interpretation of it. Listen to the song, and ask yourself "how would I like to dance to this?" Then come make it happen tomorrow!

Most waltzes have a fairly simple and constant rhythm. This one http://bit.ly/1tNcjvL, which we danced to in the practica today, doesn't: there are interesting changes in which beat is emphasized (can you spot them?) and there is a big difference between high energy (think breathing in) and low energy (breathing out). That playfulness can translate into how you're dancing. That's what we call musicality, which is what we're working on this month.

Tomorrow is the first of four Thursdays that we're focussing on musicality in tango. We'll have a practica with a lot of Canaro music, like this piece. How would you want to dance to this piece of music? Tango means improvised (both for men and for women), and we'll give you the tools to boost your creativity!
