SPECIAL WEEKEND with AGUSTIN & NATALIA, for the first time in Belgium

Ready for a different challenge?

It is common to learn movements, causes, and consequences regarding motion… and then, we just reproduce those movements on the beat… it took us years until someone said, you know you can lead/follow a musical element... with all its qualities... and only then, your dance will have the feeling as if the music is coming from you guys! Try it out…

This challenge has changed the way we dance forever.

WORKSHOPS & SEMINAR:

On these five workshops together, we will take you on the search and exploration we have done to bring this challenge to our dance and will feel the change right away. 

Workshop 1: Balancing freedom and control. The constant search of every dancer.
Workshop 2: Duration of sounds and movements, underlying the beat.
Workshop 3: Muscular tone, where is the limit and how we can use it.
Workshop 4: Why “completely horizontal”, is not enough. Vertical curves.
Workshop 5: Dancing an instrument, leaving the predictable.

VERY SPECIAL: SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS

How does it work?
Well, basically it is a much smaller group, so we can reach each couple on a deeper level. This way, we can share side by side, the things we had to work on during our journey and how to embody things the fastest. Not based on sequences or steps but rather qualities of leading/following, connection, and organicity.
Our aim in this smaller group is to share the tools that we use that let us express “who we are” and how we experience the music in a collective way so that you can also express who you are and how you live the music together with your partner.

30 novembre et 1er décembre
exceptional weekend with Flor ARGENTO

Last Tanda is a tribute to the milongueras and milongueros of the Golden Age of tango who still
today - at the age of 80 and 90 – continue to shine on Buenos Aires’ dance floors, delving deeper
into their style, creating every night unique figures and moves and making the tango a way of living,
of breathing.

let's discover Nelida Fernando, Toto Faraldo, Ofelia Rosito, El Nene Masci and Jorge García. They
are living leading figures of the moment in which the tango became a mass phenomenon in social
and sports clubs, where the best orchestras and tango dancers blossomed.

They are all part of the “creatives’ generation”. They express themselves through their way of walking,
standing and embracing, their torso movements and their footwork, their way of matching their dance
to the musical phrasing and the different instruments and moods each tango tells about. They’re
convinced that one has to look for their personal style. Hence the need to value these wonderful
artists.

Flor invited them whit an excuse: to imagine a last tanda of the night or of life.

They danced, talked and recorded this Last Tanda with photos, with three cameras, in brief interviews
and with the support of 360-degree virtual reality.

From each chat and fully respecting mes milongueros’ words, short stories emerged in which each
artist introduced themselves in first person, within the context of the dance-floor tango told from the
inside, as a specific social and artistic fact within the dancing.

We discovered, once more, that today they still dance every tango as if it were the last, putting all
their vigor and their passion in each step and dancing all that exists between one step and the next.
