Followers: Learn to Lead!

Are you a follower who wants to deepen your understanding and increase your tango pleasure? Would you like more control over whether you get to dance at a milonga? Then come join us as we explore how easy it can be to learn to lead. If you’ve been following for over a year, you are familiar with the musicality, the movements, the embrace, the rhythms – most of what you need to know to be a good leader, you already know.

We’ll explain and demonstrate some of the most important things you need to know about:
*keeping the embrace comfortable and connected,
*how to take simple moves and apply different rhythms to make them feel like different moves,
*and the single most valuable move you’ll ever learn for navigation, musicality, and connection: the pause.

We request that you have spent at least one year as a regular Argentine Tango follower before joining this class. You do not need any prior leading experience, but if you have led before you’ll still learn something new and exciting, and practice being more comfortable and confident.

more about Solomon: http://tropicalzen.com/tango/bio/ Solomon will teach the first two 90-min classes, and focus on exercises and games that will adapt your current tango skills to leading and navigating comfortably.

more about Sonja: http://www.intimateembracetango.com/biography.html Sonja will teach the last two classes, and will focus on the experiences in the body as we develop our embrace, deepen our musicality, and connect with the flow of the floor.
