Técnica

In the técnica sessions, the teachers give 20 minutes of technique between the two evening classes. We work on posture, balance and axis, refinement, footwork, dissociation/association, rhythmic and speed exercises, but also on connection, leading and following…

These sessions can be followed individually (without partner) by the participants of the first and second lesson of the evening (and others). It is highly recommended to take part in these sessions, because we regularly work on principles and movements that are also discussed in the weekly courses. Moreover, working on body awareness and tango techniques is not a luxury, both for beginners and for the already experienced dancers.

• A subscription to the técnica sessions entitles you to participate several times a week
• Técnica sessions can be followed separately (4€ pp per session)
• Técnica sessions are not open to spectators, only those who pay have access to the room
• Since no partner is required, the técnica sessions are not open to substitutes: but those who replace for a weekly class can pay for a técnica session.
• Prices La Tangueria: 50€ pp for 15 sessions of técnica, or 45€ pp if combined with one or more weekly classes. La Luna: 55/50€ pp.

Practica

To improve the learning process, it is recommended to review the content of the classes in order to assimilate, digest and integrate it into your repertory. On Thursday as of 19:00, while there are classes downstairs, the free practica welcomes its students who want to exercise in the room upstairs of La Tangueria.
