Tango is really about the embrace and the music. To get a soft embrace, we have to work on technique and to explore that technique further, we can make use of sequences and adornments. When we then learn to apply Musicality to those sequences and adornments, the picture is complete. All the sequences and adornments that form part of this course are time tested material that we personally use when dancing socially in Milongas, Festivals and Marathons. They will all be explained clearly with video aides and you will get to keep the videos with you forever so you can apply them when you get to dance socially for the years to come.
