CLASS DESCRIPTION#
Workshop 1. Cruces con giros y cambios de dirección: Crosses with turns and changes in direction. This is an excellent way for navigating while making figures for Milonguero and Salon style embraces. These movements allow combining both styles, executing figures within the embrace without disrupting the dance floor or other couples.
Workshop 2. Giros con traspié y efectos musicales para tangos picados y milongas: Turns with traspié and musical effects for fast tangos and milongas. Excellent way to maximize musicality on crowded floors.
Workshop 3. Pasadas y tomadas: These elements are mostly used in slow tangos, showing technique and posture. However, they can be used in all tango figures. Tomadas y pasadas are not only an attractive form of dancing; they are also a great approach to improving women’s and men’s technique.
Workshop 4. Milongas: traspié liso y traspié cruzado: A multilevel class to enrich the dancer. Milonga is a dance with simple but technically well-executed movements. This class is aimed at showing how something simple can be transformed into a traspié liso or cruzado.
Workshop 5. Valses: Cadencia, musicalidad y caminatas con giros y desplazamientos. Cadence, musicality and walks with turns and displacements. Although vals is a sub-type of tango, it has its own personality, and must keep it.
#Some tango experience is recommended for all these workshops.
BRIEF BIOS
Oscar Casas’ distinctive dance style is greatly admired by other milongueros in Buenos Aires, and, around the world, his students are impressed by his skills and energy. In Oscar’s classes we perceive the history of tango he lived within his family and his vast dance experience, blended with his unique teaching style and charismatic personality.
Ana Miguel started her tango teaching carrier with Pocho Pizarro, a famous Argentine instructor and performer. Since then, she has taught at various tango festivals and was also a tango teacher at ACETA (Academy of Argentine Tango Styles). She has also been performing, and for several years she was part of the show at Esquina Carlos Gardel in BsAs.
