Winterstage folk & tango - Niveau 2

This intensive week of dance is for advanced folk dancers who wish to take the time to develop and refine the body skills (posture and dance technique) necessary to embody the music more precisely and sensitively in couple dances.

 

This bodywork will be done via a diversion through the practice of Argentine tango, because it allows us to explore the finesse and precision of the connection.

 

This bodywork will also allow us to dive into the exploration of this great mishmash called "musicality" and the dialogue that we, as dancers, are led to initiate with the musical proposals that are made to us: to open our ears, to become aware of the rhythmic and melodic richness of the songs, to get out of our usual movements by developing new types of vocabularies, to be able to choose the musical elements that we want to interpret, etc…

 

In our opinion, what makes a beautiful couple dance is the comfort of the abrazo, the quality of the connection, and the harmony found by the three of us: you, me and the music. This workshop will explore these three concepts in greater depth.

 

Each teacher will also give classes around his or her own speciality. We have 2 rooms and can therefore separate the group

• Laure: musicality, possibilities of improvisation, posture and bodywork in couple dancing, Argentine tango (at the service of folk dances) and morning body warm-ups.
• Koen: dances from the South West & Centre of France, improvisation, musicality & rhythmical variations in couple dances, …
• All participants can have 10 minutes of intensive individual coaching with one of the teachers on the subject of their choice
