Lift Figures: The Right Spin

From an outside gancho, a twisted lift figure is created that organically absorbs our torque, completely without effort for the leader, and the follower does not need to jump off either. We simply let the follower take off and fly with the right spin!

Neotango Ganchos

Ganchos are very playful and fun Neotango elements. When we have space we can do high swinging ganchos with a specific technique. But we can also make ganchos that fit in crowded neolongas. Nevertheless, it's still important to make them save for yourself and the people around you. In this workshop you will learn the technique of how to use your legs to make them properly, how to lead and follow them, how to apply them with different types of the music, and creative combinations that use ganchos in a modern way.

Fancy Neotango Moves

You will learn special movements and combinations which you normally don’t see in traditional milongas. These are fancy Neotango movements that are very modern, fun and creative and will enrich your dance with alternative music.

We will have elements such as Soltadas, Boleos or Ganchos combined in a special way with unusual directions and surprising playful possibilities and we will also play with Neotango embellishments. All combinations will also help you to connect with each other, play with possibilities of your own creativity and to dance with a beautiful neotango quality.

Lift Figures: Taking Off with Enjoyment

Similar to the lift figure from Workshop 1, we again use the energy from an inside gancho this time to achieve a twisted pirouette - with similar technique, the visual effect of the dance couple is quite different. The fundamental principles of lifts conveyed here can be used to derive numerous other lift figures.

Soltadas & Playfulness

Soltadas means "released". We release the embrace, or just a part of it, but we definitely keep the connection. This is a very characteristic movement used in Neotango.

There are many different kinds of Soltadas. In this workshop you will learn different types of Soltadas, how to lead them and follow them, how to keep the connection in this moment and how to get back to the embrace. You will also learn how to apply this possibilities to neo and non tango music. Learning Soltadas will enrich your Neotango vocabulary and make your dance more playful and fun.

Doppelotto

A combination of Sacada and Colgada leads into a dramatic final pose. And if the music continues to play, one could also add a lift...
