The General Program Seminar consists in a review of the most “important problems” of the tango dance, and its study through their specific principles. For a better comprehension of the seminar contents, we can divide these “important problems” in two groups:

    Elements permanently in use

§        Leading and following

Sensitivity on the other one

§        The embrace

Distances, posture, sides, etc

§        The use of the space and the positions

The action, the reception, the directions

§        The musical adjustment

Rhythm, phrasing, “tras-pie”, musicality

§        The displacement in a straight line

“walks”, code of walking, systems

§        The turns

Axis, senses of turning, structure

These elements can be considered the necessary base for a danced tango reasonably under control. In this seminar, will be analyzed how are these elements operating not only during the usual “walking” but during the realization of specific figures as well.

   Specific choreographic ideas most frequently used

§        the boleos

§        the sacadas

§        the ganchos

§        the capturas, barridas and pasadas

§        the volcadas

§        the colgadas

These “ideas” and the great variety of figures that come from them, will be studied in this seminar, digging deeply into the specific technical principles that each idea presents. In other words, if we take for example the idea ”sacada”, will be studied the general technique of the “sacadas” in order to achieve correctly a sacada in any of its variations. At the same time, will be observed in each of these variations, how are operating the elements of permanent use above mentioned.

One of the characteristics of this Seminar is its careful and detailed analysis of the technique, through which two things are looked for: the quality in the execution and the value of the movement. We firmly believe that, within each one ‘s capacity, as better as you achieve to dance, the more you enjoy it.

Basically the General Program Seminars have the same program, that means that all themes and conceptual considerations are going to be repeated. Regarding to the steps and sequences material, is going to be renovated in order to improve the results, and to increase possibilities. We propose these dates for this General Program Seminar, so that, who cannot attend the first one could do it to one of the others, and at the same time, given this renovation of sequences, could also repeat it. 

One Seminar is not continuity of the previous one, therefore, it is not necessary to have attended one to be able to attend the next.
