Featherweight Volcadas


This Concept explores off axis techniques to understand how to mobilise effective volcadas that access the free leg and allow effortless movement within the dance. Nick and Diana will work on understanding the axis, connection and your preparedness for the volcada.

What are Concepts?

Concepts are special intensives organised by TangoSpace where over four hours a single idea or tango ‘concept’ is built from the ground up. Students MUST enrol with a partner. Throughout the Concept you work with your partner to your desired level. Concepts are divided into two 2 hour sessions with a 1 hour break in between. You must enrol for the full four hours. But the good news is that within the hour break, we will supply you with lunch. Concepts cost $100 per person which becomes $80 with the early bird price for payments before the 15th October 2014.
